STRAIGHT-FORWARD JAZZ COMBO

Led by their drummer, a group of musicians from Kansas City play compositions by Bobby Watson, Pat Metheny and Ahmad Alaadeen, all of whom themselves from Kansas City. The group comprises piano, tenor & alto saxes, trumpet, bass, and drums.

No FCC issues.

1 * Very fast. Lively & spirited. Strong ensemble play; solos by alto, piano, tenor. (6:38)
2 ** Mid-tempo with a nice swing. Soulful melody. Solos by tenor, trumpet, piano. (6:22)
3 Fast. Opened & closed by horns in unison. Solos by piano, both saxes, then bass. (3:58)
4 * Mid-tempo. Moody & model. Led by trumpet at first, but mostly by tenor sax. (10:58)
5 * Slow. Pretty ballad by tenor & piano, ‘comped by bass & shimmery cymbals. (7:13)
6 Mid-fast. Lighthearted & breezy ensemble piece. (6:51)
7 Mid-slow. Featured upright bass & alto sax. Too dreary for the length. (11:33)
8 ** Slow. Gorgeous love song on alto sax. A hint of piano accompaniment. (3:02)
9 * Varied tempo. Everyone solos well. Nice, stylish piece. (8:04)
