My red flag went up when I read that sentence as well. I was just thinking, "umm...excuse me. BULL****!" It deserves maybe 3/5 stars. Not a bad album by any means, and probably good for bass players and listeners not into jazz. However, I think most jazz fans will agree that this isn't anything too special.
