Reviewed 6/19/13
Three –time Grammy award winner Christian McBride brings back another installment
Of his acoustic jazz group, Inside Straight. Top notch instrumental jazz.
*= favorite cuts
1 – (7:38) Listen to the Heroes Cry.* Great sax, vibes, piano in a mid-tempo song,
soft fade out.
2 – (6:49) Fair Hope Theme. Familiar McBride sound, sleek, polished solos all around.
3 – (7:03) Gang Gang.* Insistent tempo, different, builds to sonic climaxes, nice.
4 – (6:42) Ms. Angelou. Slow ballad, soft, mellow. Just OK.
5 – (8:30) The Movement, Revisited.* Upbeat, urgent tempo, fabulous soloing.
6 – (7:27) Unusual Suspects.* Mellow entry, then soaring sax, vibes, piano, smooth
ensemble work.
7 – (6:05) Dream Train.* Another up-tempo tune, solid & forceful.
8 – (5:28) New Hope’s Angel. Mid-tempo, softer, swings.
