Commentary
Despite the presence of some serious jazz heavy-hitters, Calling
You is an innocuous record. Like many other CTI releases, the music
gets weighted with excessive production. If you like slicker "contemporary/smooth"
jazz, you might enjoy it. (I don't think that this particular CD is representative
of Rosenthal's work either.)
Not my cup of tea.
