Tenor saxophonist Mark Turner created quite the buzz with his self-titled debut in 1998. Possessing a tone reminiscent of John Coltrane coupled with the warm swing of Dexter Gordon, Turner soloed without sounding like he was soloing, just extending the melody in novel ways. Turner's sophomore effort is an all-ballad set that highlights his gorgeous tone. Turner and an excellent supporting cast (guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel, bassist Larry Grenadier, pianist Kevin Hays, and drummer Brian Blade) play wonderfully on "Skylark," "Nefertiti," "I Loves You, Porgy," and "All or Nothing At All," among others. Despite the roster, somehow the music on the whole lacks a certain weight and energy that no amount of glowing lyrical interpretation can replace. None of this really detracts from Turner, who plays beautifully throughout. But for a sophomore effort, a little momentum could have turned this sleepy outing into a real soul station. --Ken Micallef
