This is a re-issue of an EMI Odeon 1971 release.

“There is no reason why E.M.I.” –J.”R.”L.

On listening, but for some actual smooth flute by Juhani Aaltonen, this is “Smooth Jazz” with a slouching diddle diddle harrumph to improv at is most doodlie snooze.

But not being a Jazzman, I deferred to my brother, Ryan “R.J” Johnson who is a Jazzman, and brother, does he agree.

I paraphrase,

“Get some balls Noodleville!”

This record goes nowhere
and sometimes it goes there very fast.

So, 5/10 for getting released,
+1 for it getting re-issued,
+1 for my ignorance,
+1 for Saramanto being a Finn,
8/10 divided by 2 for everyone’s wasted time.

Life is short. 4/10 -- Tim Goodwillie (22 January, 2009)
