Hey all, got a review up @glidemag which you can read Right C'here:
RtBE has dug on Batiste for some years now, ranking his early jazz records highly. We enjoyed WE ARE, maybe not as much as the GRAMMYS or some of our friends, but it was cool. World Music Radio was a complete let down, and we were way to nice to it in our review for Glide. His recent piano record was interesting, but we haven't gone back to it. Big Money just may be our favorite yet.
At times, even when reading the press release for this album, it feels like Batiste can overthink everything and get in the way of his own music/talent. On Big Money that is rarely the case as the songs feel natural, almost demo like. This helps Batiste on all fronts.
