Abate, Greg With The Tim Ray Trio
Road To Forever
Review: Abate teams up with the Ray Trio again, only this time it's an electric band. The playing is exemplary and spirited throughout, as usual. I think the title alludes to the original Return To Forever albums, before they went total fusion.
FCCs: none
If You Like: Chick Corea, Joe Farrell, Courtney Pine
Favorite Tracks: (1) Road To Forever (2) City of 2-5s (4) Take The Crowded train (5) Farewell Phil Woods (8) Seasons
