From the first muted melody statements of "Cookout," it's unmistakable that trumpeter Rod McGaha is a star on the rise. You might look at him and his band without a glimmer of recognition, since they're Nashville-based players. Unfamiliarity in this case should breed curiosity and hunger. McGaha is a big blower, connecting phrases with the glee of Lee Morgan and a tight, fully developed sense of phrase that places him somewhere besides Mogie, perhaps with Booker Little. In any event, McGaha has chops to burn and a soulful hand at writing. His takes on "In a Sentimental Mood" and Bobby Timmons's "This Here" are impeccable, and "Can't Buy Me Love," a nod to the Beatles, sounds inspired (which itself is a feat). After a half-hour of Preacherman, it dawns on you that his trumpet is the only horn in the band, which is yet another uncommon facet of this CD. He fills the air with slurs and stretched notes, milking every moment for its worth. --Andrew Bartlett
