Pro Reviews: Platinum Jazz
An often overlooked and underrated part of War's legacy was its instrumentals, many of which were quite imaginative. War's members loved jazz, and they expressed that passion not because they had any illusions of trying to compete with Miles Davis or Joe Henderson (or even Charles Earland and Grover Washington, Jr.), but simply for the enjoyment of it. Initially released as a two-LP set and reissued as a single 78-minute CD in 1992, Platinum Jazz gathered War's previously released instrumentals with fine results. Jazz-fusion material ranging from the unpredictable "City, Country, City" (arguably the band's best instrumental ever, and certainly its best known) and the salsa-influenced "Nappy Head" to the mellow "H2Overture" and the congenial "Smile Happy" show just how effective War's members could be without vocals. And when saxman Charles Miller and keyboardist stretch out, it's clear that as improvisers, they weren't half bad.
- Alex Henderson, All Music Guide
