Alvin Queen - Mighty Long Way to Go
- Alvin Queen’s “Mighty Long Way to Go” is a simple jazz album, but very precise. There isn’t any singing, or lyrics, but there is beautiful music. This instrumental CD is something delightful and wonderful to listen to.
Even though the lyrics are absent, Alvin Queen names his songs. One particular song is “Mighty Long Way.” There are drums, trumpets and guitar playing on this track. The beat is steady and rhythmic and is pleasant to listen to.
Other songs like “I Got a Woman” and “Cape Verdean Blues” have a softer sound and are more blues-like, if anything. To make the sound more interesting, percussions and an alto saxophone are included with the other instruments. All of Alvin Queen’s songs last for about five to seven minutes which is unusual for my taste. I like to hear lyrics and singing; however, the music is great.
“Mighty Long Way to Go” is full of energy, musical talent and jazz that blends together making a fine album. Some may not want to listen to an album with just music and nothing else, but all music is music and Alvin Queen’s music is worth giving a try.
