5 out of 5 stars Emerging talent.......2001-11-07

Primarily composed during their two year residency in Blytheville, AR (how often do you see the name Blytheville in a jazz review?), New Slant shows the UJE coming into their own as a mature ensemble. In particular vibraphonist/trombonist Mike Noonan and reed man Jeff Antoniuk are at the top of their form, and take full advantage of a rock solid rhythm section (John Pineda and Marty Morrison). The UJE pays heavy tribute to Thelonious Monk, but manages to incorporate a sense of humor and enough individualism to differentiate themsel;ves from other young jazz combos. recomended listening.
