I Can't Put My Finger on It is the second and last album by Miniature, drummer Joey Baron, saxophonist Tim Berne and cellist Hank Roberts, which was recorded in 1991 and released on the JMT label.[1][2][3]
Reception
[edit]The AllMusic review by Stephen Cook stated: "The result here is a corralled mix of bop, free jazz, soundtrack ambience, and funk, all wrapped in Berne's cerebrally swinging sound. And while not a substitute for one of Berne's or Baron's solo outings of the '90s, I Can't Put My Finger on It will still please fans of the New York downtown jazz sound."[4] The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings praised the album, writing that it had an edge over their debut.[5]
