Ugly Beautiful (Disc 1)
Genre: Jazz
Review: Ambitious 2-CD set by talented drummer and his stellar quintet fronted by two versatile saxophonists & held together by Roberta Piket on keyboards. A sprawling studio recording that sounds live. Some of the tunes are revisited with new improvisations
If You Like: Ornette Coleman, Courtney Pine, McCoy Tyner, Elvin Jones
Favorite Tracks: (1)Angels (4) Flight (8) Dit (alternate take)
