 Rating:  - music snobs suckhey j, maybe if you weren't such a snob you would recognize good music, oh and by the way, sanborn is an artist that is never afraid to venture into new territory and has raised the bar for all those that follow. not bad for a kid who picked up an instrument as a child to save his life. he's an inspiration, your just a snob. peace Rating:  - Not smooth but mellow with few excitementsThis music does seem a little "handcuffed" as another reviewer puts it but to label it smooth (ie. in the same genre as Kenny G) is certainly too harsh. Seems more like its generally stuck in 2nd &/or 3rd gear & certainly doesn't show off Stanko or Garbarek to anywhere near their full potential.

When he is playing they are less subdued which isn't necessarily a good thing.The pianist is outstanding as is the percussionist thus the 4 stars. Rating: - Laid Back Jazz "Neighbourhood" by Manu Katche, with Jan Garbareck, Tomasz Stanko, Marcin Wasilewski and Slawomir Kurkiewicz - 2005, ECM Label. Drummer, Manu Katche, has been making a name for himself as one of the world's better drummers. That may be a matter of opinion but I confess I do like him pretty much. I would describe his style as `soft-spoken'. I first heard the cut "February Sun" from this CD on Cable Radio before I ordered it. I love the Scandinavian Jazz genre from the ECM label so when I ...
