Music Review: BSTC - Music for a Saturday Night - Page 2

The most fascinating track on the CD, “Mr. AC,” shows their ability to play straightforward jazz.   BSTC should record future albums dedicated to jazz; while they play acid jazz well, their improvisational techniques and horn solos are impressive.  While BSTC remains committed to producing material that defies easy categorization, an all-traditional jazz album would definitely showcase the group’s vast musical chops.

Overall, it took a few listens before I decided that I liked much of Music for a Saturday Evening.  Perhaps the album is not meant for simply sitting and listening intently to the music; after all, the album’s title suggests that it’s meant as a soundtrack for dancing or just relaxing.  While BSTC accomplishes that goal, it would be worthwhile for them to further explore traditional jazz in future releases.
