Wonder- & colorful, multilayered & mature compositions, wonderfully played & sung. D’y’ like W. Shorter's Alegria (’03) or his piece Pegasus (’13), with - as here - Imani Winds & Br. Blade? Or J. Hollenbeck’s bigband-songs? And discreet synths at times? This album could make you very happy. Only critical aspect - as on thousands of jazz albums: the rattling &/or dull sound of drums and bass. (Why, does "nobody" replicate the perfect sound from e.g. B. Hersey's Year of the Ear albums ’75 -’79?) ROWIAL
