Super acid jazz in the vein of Weather Report, electric Miles Davis and the Headhunters.

Editorial review

An interesting release from pianist Jeff Kaye with an intriguing mix of straightforward jazz, avant-garde sounds and?circus music? Bobo Bazinsky in the Bronx is probably first and foremost an avant-garde album, though that may not be the original intent. There are sounds here from around the spectrum -- some relatively standard piano fare, some electronic funkiness a la the Headhunters (but not to the same degree), some avant-garde sensibilities reminiscent of Albert Ayler, tinkling and clanking reminiscent of the Art Ensemble of Chicago or Sun Ra, and what might be best described as a {Monk}-like composition midway through the set. The album opens with what sounds like a smooth jazz guitar, but then adds a series of wandering horns and piano lines over the top. 20 Blind 20 is very close to a Prodigy backing track, with breakbeats and modern synths galore. The title track continues this, but adds some more jazz pieces with a stronger horn presence and a bit more melody. Kaye's rendition of There Is No Greater Love begins with a mild circus feel, but quickly becomes very reminiscent of Monk's great compositions, courtesy largely of Kaye's able playing and/or mimicry. Country Wizard introduces another set of atmospheric electronica, followed by some 70s style organ improvisation in The In Crowd. After the aforementioned pseudo-Headhunters funk of The Big Smoke, the album finishes on a new rendition of Ain't Necessarily So that moves from a straightforward lounge piano piece with vampy vocals to a funkier piece of jazz and eventually to a funky breakbeat with Brazilian kicks. This album moves all over the charts -- the compositions are here and there both in genre and in quality, but the performances are generally always on the mark. Worth a listen for some modern fusion ideas. ~ Adam Greenberg, All Music Guide
