Review of Senior Year In High School


I like hearing the vantage point of Edison High School seniors on what next year's going to be like for me (I'm a junior now). Mohamed has a very clear voice, and this is a high quality recording. However, it is clear at some points that he is reading off a script. I appreciate the authenticity of his ending -- "that's what's real" -- and wish that the musical choice was similarly fitting. But as this piece was produced for Jazz 88 FM, it's something I can live with! "Senior Year In High School" is a quick and refreshing feature.
