Album Review
It makes perfect sense that Andy Snitzer includes David Sanborn among those he thanks on his second album, In The Eye of the Storm. Wouldn't you thank a legend who's not only an inspiration, but your sole sonic voice? It's a shame to get on a sharp young talent like Snitzer for emulating a hero, but it's almost like he's not trying to ease away from it. He tries a few other horns here and there, but the alto predominates. That said, let's focus on Snitzer's solid improvisations, diverse songwriting and production values which range from low key blues funk to easy jazz and bouncy pop. The infectious "My Dream Come True" is about as pure a mid-tempo pop-jazz cut as there is, while "The Schoolyard" runs like a romp on the swings. Then, of course, there's his tight, foundation laying synth work. With so much going for him, you'd think Snitzer would work on his one drawback...not that it's a problem if you've never heard of Sanborn.

Album Review
You're just as likely to hear tenor saxophonist and session man Andy Snitzer with the likes of Paul Simon and the Rolling Stones, but here he surrounds himself with some of the finest in straightahead jazz: pianist/organist Alain Mallet, bassist James Genus, and drummer Clarence Penn. Snitzer's debt to hard-swinging soul-jazz -- more specifically, the late Stanley Turrentine -- is immediately clear on the title track and on two blues tunes, "T. Time" and "Mr. Groove." Rollins and Coltrane also figure into the story, on "Moritat" (aka "Mack the Knife"), "Blue Seven," and "Blue Train." The two rock ballads, "Wild Horses" by the Stones and "A Song for You" by Leon Russell, don't really go anywhere; Snitzer is heard to better advantage on "You Don't Know What Love Is." A fun but not essential listen.
