Yes, some jazz purists must be quivering right about now, but this adventure has a rather interesting feel to it! Some of you know Phil Collins through his work with Genesis and his solo activity over the years, but the man does possess some rather serious jazz chops. His work with the fusion group "Brand X" in the latter half of the '70's is very tasty, and like many drummers he has a strong appreciation of the roots and heritage of the greats on his instrument. The Big Band album "A Hot Night in Paris" comprises mostly reworkings of Genesis and Collins' solo tunes, but there are also arrangements of standards such as "Milestones", and funk/rock tunes such as "Pick Up the Pieces". It is a fun listen...check it out!
