Review: Drummer Lawrence gathered together an impressive all-star group to perform swinging originals and inventive versions of two standards and Jimi Hendrix’s “Crosstown Traffic”. The colorful music covers a variety of moods and tempos ranging from the rhythmically catchy and the cheerful to an infectious modernized version of standards
