Review: An inventive sense of composition characterizes this new disc by bassist & composer McDade. He possesses a dramatic sense of structure that is always multi-layered, & constantly shifting in mood and tone. There's a nice balance of virtuosity to please the jazz cats, with a sweeping sense of drama and intriguing momentum to the tracks to hook even a casual listener. Plus the clever track titles! All originals.
