Reviewed 2013-03-27
Hot and sexy featuring Mustafa lighting the match with his trumpet. Tight arrangements, wild energy, nice blend of brass, percussion and keys. A big band sound with great flair and wonderful style. I like it all.

1. Wickedly fast straight from the gate. Wild solos.
2. Warm and swaying midtempo jam w/shining work from all.
3. Big and brassy with a hint of the cha cha cha and lyrical style.
4. Nicely complex layers in this mid/upbeat tune w/urban polish.
5. A late night slow dance, very quiet at times. Reflective and still.
6. Upbeat high style, tight playing, complex arrangement.
7. Downtemp, gets upbeat later. A crazy, twisting jam.
8. Mid/upbeat, great sax solos, nicely unpredictable.
9. Tight mid/upbeat groove w/a hot Latin bop. So cool.
