4 out of 5 stars Curious Review - Solid CD!.......2005-07-10

I'm not sure what CD the previous reviewer was attempting to review, but none of the players he mentions in his description are on this CD. If you click on the CD image for a larger view, so that the names of the musicians can be seen more clearly, you will see the actual line-up. Still, this is a solid band for sure. Snidero comes from the "Cannonball Adderly" school of saxophone playing, as is evident in his phrasing and tone. Being that the Criss Cross label keeps its talent "close to home" so to speak, the musicians on this CD, particularly Snidero and Peter Washington, have played together on more than one occasion, yielding a studio album with a real sense of cohesiveness that is more often only heard from bands that work or tour together regularly. There is a nice balance in song selection here, starting off with a tricky, burning opener and subsequently covering the spectrum of tempo and song style to make a well rounded, enjoyable CD.

4 out of 5 stars Terrific Playing througout.......2001-06-01

This is an excellent album of fun, swinging jazz. The band is packed with extremely talented players who are now big-name leaders. The rhythm section is tight and groovy, and the horn solos are inventive and creative. Josh Redman plays with a mature swing, Jon Gordon adds a bit of fire and color, and Ryan Kisor plays well-thought out melodies and lines. Highly recommended
