Hubert Laws - Romeo Juliet Crying Song

Review by Vris Nafis

Hubert Laws' album Romeo Juliet Crying Song is a masterful blend of jazz and classical music that is sure to captivate listeners. The album features Laws' virtuosic flute playing and is backed by an ensemble of talented musicians, including pianist Bob James and drummer Harvey Mason.

The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful title track, which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Laws' flute soars over a lush orchestration, creating a sense of melancholy and longing. This theme is continued throughout the album, with songs like "Let Her Go" and "No More" showcasing Laws' ability to convey emotion through his playing.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Passacaglia in C Minor," a classical piece that features Laws' flute accompanied by a string quartet. The piece is both beautiful and complex, showcasing Laws' technical prowess and his ability to seamlessly blend jazz and classical styles.
