I really dig The Source. I wouldn't call her the greatest living sax player or anything but I find her creative and expressive in an enjoyable way. However, there isn't much that separates that style of record from "smooth jazz" which I think some would find negative. The production isn't as slick, there's no constant ambient keyboard in the background, and the melodies aren't as repetitive, but it's heavy groove playing within a type of soundscape. 

I'd happily have more groove, or more rhythm. I quite like the keyboards (a mate saw Armon-Jones recently in a different setting and was raving about him). It just seems like it is a bit middle of the road. I'm happy she is getting exposure though. People obviously like her music.

Two cd set of well-chosen material from this period. Not great sounding source recordings but great music. This DALAUDIO amp is really sounding interesting.

Now:

Disc 2 - Live!

Two of Martino's toughest, baddest records -- both originally released on Muse.  32 Jazz reissued them in this two-CD set. 

I like the reissue title: Head and Heart. Yeah. A good summation of Pat Martino's music.

R.I.P.
