Query: Not Yet Their Time

I bought this album on LP when it hit the budgie bins in the early 70s, and the CD a few weeks ago.The recording had so much promise: Randy and Mike Brecker, Billy Cobham, John Abercrombie.Ultimately, this album was a disappointment to me. While the arrangements are interesting in spots, there are too many diffused attempts to hit pop charts with vocal pieces and insufficient solo space for either Brecker (although Mike had a couple of nice solos on the last 2 cuts). I agree that Columbia might have been trying to nudge them toward a BS&T; thing, since BS&T; was selling lots of records at the time.The talent clearly compares to the fusion bands that were around then and soon thereafter, but saddling the talent with boring vocal pieces with boring vocalists and lyrics squanders it.This album might be interesting to collectors to hear what these players sounded like before they became well-known, but I can't recommend it to anyone else.
