Beware The One Track Syndrome

I was slightly mislead into buying this cd titled Impish by Britsh jazz guitarist Phil Robson. I heard a track when it was selected on a radio show best of the year programme and the track they played, Gone Fishing, was a beautiful Indian influenced piece featuring both guitar and saz. I expected a few more pieces in a fusion vein but in fact the rest of the album was pretty much straight ahead conventional jazz workouts, the other possible exception being the freer structure of Reptilian. Nicely played by Robson and his trio, augmented on four of the nine tracks by the piano of John Taylor. So all in all, very pleasant but not exactly essential. I wonder why the interest in Indian forms wasn't followed up at all, even if not for the entire album. That track does stand out like a sore thumb.
