Grace Under Pressure - Rush

If this were put out by a new unknown band, I would think this was pretty
good. For Rush, though, it was a dissapointment for me. The musicianship
is up to par, but the material sounds formulated and lacks the imagination
that provided so much enjoyment for me on previous releases.

Heavy Heart - Carla Bley

With the lineup of 'heavys' on this album, you might expect more sparkle
in the overall performance. Most of the tunes really grew on me after a
while. Carla's tunes are a little more toward mainstream jazz than usual
this time. The highlights for me are the synthesized big-band sounds and
the soloing by Kenny Kirkland (piano) and Steve Slagle (sax & flute).
Hiram Bullock made some nice guitar sounds, too.
