Kind of a '70s retro feel with lots of slow, sweeping horns. Led by Harris on vibes with Xavier Davis on piano -- they're sort of the defining voices that give even the stern pieces kind of a mellow sound. Harris is an adept player who's put together some ambitious compositions here. A bit overblown sometimes (feel the drama on track 2) but good overall. 1*- Breezy midtempo 2*- Uptempo, multiphased, w/some nice riffs. Playful in an artsy way, gets a decent groove after a while. 3- A touch of snazzy blues. 4- Segue 5- Coolly mysterious, fast 6- Cool and rolling, gets a Latin feel 7- Slow drama, w/vocals 8*- Stern; big slow horns 9*- Midtempo swirling; ends w/fast riff 10- Slow, w/some flashy soloing by Harris 11*- Multiphased, opening with a fast burble followed by a slow chiming theme. Fun, fast soloing space. 12+13- Quiet and soft; tribute to Milt Jackson | ||
