Cave Men ~ ANTTI KOTIKOSKI, J.K. KLEUTGENS, Vinne Colaiuta, Steve Tavaglione � 2003 J2K Records 2003-1 http://www.j2krecords.com/ jkbass@adelphia.net This is a definite "power team" of fusion musicians coming together to offer one solid release of highly listenable jazz fusion. Vinnie Colaiuta lays down his typical genius in rhythmic fashion. JK, a bassist I find a real thrill to hear groove, is superb on every cut. Antti Kotikoski is his usual "monster" fusion-axe self, outdoing himself on slippery legato and ringing full tones in all his riffs and chords. Reed work by Steve the "Tav" calls to mind the work of recently passed Bob Berg. In many ways you will hear echoes of that Berg/Stern sax/axe interplay on this release as well as even that David Binney/Adam Rogers, sax/axe, Lost Tribe, funked / slicked / fusion groove. But for certain, this remains a uniquely successful "Cave Men" fusion experience. A recommended listen -- please pass some more of that bronto steak this way guys. ~ John W.
