5 out of 5 stars DETROIT IS MY HOME WHERE JAZZ IS AT HOME........2004-10-21

I have been listen to jazz for about 40yrs. Ray Brown is the number one bassit in the world.
He has played with so many players that love his bass playing ability.Ray Brown is the finest Bassit in the WORLD.From A DETROITER!

5 out of 5 stars Loving Bass is not a requirement.......2002-10-24

Being a long time listener of Ray Brown (and admiring Christian McBride) I thought this CD would be interesting.

Interesting is an understatement.

This CD is pure, unadulterated FUN! Oh sure, these 3 guys are virtuousos of the first degree, but how many times have you heard people this talented just enjoying themselves in, essentially, their work!

For those who only remember Ray Brown as the bass player for the Merv Griffin house band, brace yourself. Arguably one of the 4 greatest bassists in the long history of Jazz, he is nothing short of booming here. McBride is wicked! He clearly is enjoying himself in the presence of one of his heroes. I had not heard John Clayton before but, after buying this CD, I had to get anything relating to Superbass to hear more.

To me this CD is like hugging someone you love. It never loses its appeal.

5 out of 5 stars Wicked Awesome Fun.......2002-05-17

If you are a lover of the double bass, jazz or othewise, there are not many CDs you will find that are more fun than this one. It must have been a hoot to be in the audience at these shows - they invite audience participation and the audience is only too happy to oblige.

Tracks such as Get Happy, Papa Was a Rolling Stone, and Taco and a Pork Chop are more fun than bass players should be allowed to have. Summertime, My Funny Valentine, and I Loves You, Porgy show that these guys are no musical lightweights. Beautiful playing throughout. Arrangements are very good.

Turn on your subwoofer, crank up the volume, sit back, and get ready to annoy the neighbors. You will find yourself coming back to this disc over and over again.

5 out of 5 stars Great.......2001-12-26

For those who think that jazz is boring, they are so, so wrong! Brown, McBride & Clayton make their big old instruments sound like a big band. Check out their happening, bass-slapping piece "Papa was a Rolling Stone" (Oh Wow! How could this be jazz! Woohoo!), and "Mysterioso" where the 3 stars make a beautiful classical sound out of it. Those who have heard Thelonius Monk & Sonny Rollins in "Mysterioso" will know what I mean! This 'live' recording makes the humble instrument come loud & alive. Woohoo! It's definitely an album worth investing in!
