It had been awhile since Tony MacAlpine released any new solo material when Master of Paradise came out, but the album isn't really that much of a departure from his prior work, except for the fact that for the first time, MacAlpine handles lead vocals in addition to guitar heroics. The results aren't always incredible, but MacAlpine generally gets the job done, solidly if unspectacularly. Still, that's a secondary weapon in his arsenal; the main focus is on his neo-classical, Yngwie Malmsteen-influenced guitar style, and deliver the fireworks he does. Fans of old-school hard rock guitar virtuosics should be quite pleased.

CAB 2 was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Jazz Album.With this 2001 release, virtuoso electric guitarist Tony MacAlpine, bassist extraordinaire Bunny Brunel, and power drummer Dennis Chambers extend concepts witnessed on their inaugural 2000 effort. However, legendary rock/fusion keyboardist Brian Auger lends his signature style sound and laudable skills to the band's already turbo-charged methodologies. Simply put, Auger provides additional textures while frequently tempering and counterbalancing the trio's often-fervent pace via his climactically driven electronic keyboard work and stylistic Hammond B-3 overtones. Otherwise, the group continues its generally torrid mode of execution by trading viscous fours, amid turbo-charged funk beats, rapidly executed unison choruses, and demanding time signatures. Consequently, the musicians also incorporate melodious interludes and nicely arranged movements into the grand scheme of things. On this 2000 release, the group offers quite a bit more than your average everyday or conventional high-octane chops session. Recommended!
