Album Review

Reviewed 2002-11-15
Piano-led bebop trio with a nice dusky sound, very '60s-minded. There's a light touch to it all, but it's definitely not wimpy. Burk on piano delivers lots of rich, strong left-hand chords and some nicely involved compositions. Great stuff.

1* - Lightly crashing McCoy Tyner sound. Midtempo, dramatic sparkly
2 - Soft
3** - Tangly and disjoint, slight avant-garde touches
4* - Midtempo composition, complex and stumbly. Light touch on drums is nice.
5 - Peaceful
6 - Happy, slowly ambling
7** - Jaunty but deep sound
8 - Lush and flowing
9* - Nice dramatic touch
10 - Cool tapping intro, lush solo-piano ending
