I can't believe that there are no prior customer reviews on this album. Joe Bonner employs a cinematic, story-telling approach to composing and playing. Although there is a film titled "Chocolate," and another named "Chocolat," Bonner's Suite for Chocolate was composed for a lady friend of his. Nonetheless, the music has a movie-theme quality.Joined by Khan Jamal on vibes, Bonner displays his signature ringing sound, especially on the opening track "Under the Big Sky." The first few bars always remind me why this is one of my favorite albums of all time. The lovely ballad "Where Did You Go?" follows and contains a wonderful solo from Bonner. And so it continues for the full 56:30 of the CD.For this album, I recommend the CD over the LP because the two bonus tracks make solid contributions to the integrity of the album. Neither is an alternative take, and although Harold Vick's "Winter Blossom" is the only track Bonner did not compose, it fits perfectly and could easily be mistaken for a Bonner composition.
