Music : Blue Note Sessions
page 1 of 1
Rating: 
- Kennedy of all musicians should not be under-rated
I think that anybody questioning Kennedy's ability should spend a few hours viewing him on YouTube - or better still, in concert. He has quite understandably been hailed as the world's greatest musical performer by some. I admit that the Blue Note Sessions are quite laid-back, but having seen some of the material performed live by Kennedy only five days ago at Ronnie Scott's Jazz club in London, and having purchased this particular album, I can only say that my respect for Kennedy grows almost daily. Nobody should even begin to question Kennedy's genre-crossing abilities. I doubt anybody except Kennedy could pull off the performance at the Brits classics awards that can be viewed on YouTube. His abilities are stunning. Watching him perform the Blue Note and other material live was overwhelming - best live performance I've ever seen.
Rating:
- Disappointing
Jazz fans will hate this album. The arrangements are cheesy, the performances mediocre, and Kennedy's improvisation is more in line with a high school jazz musician than a bestselling violinist. Kennedy fans might enjoy his foray into jazz; others, myself included, will find it too cringeworthy to play more than once.
