An ambitious work by a young artist who inherits the hard bop tradition
The driving force that only a group with a drummer as its leader can have.
Each member's technical skills are highly skilled, resulting in a tense interplay. While respecting the traditions of hard bop, the performance is impressive, incorporating a new era of sensibility. The dynamism of the rhythm section, centered around the drums, energizes the entire piece.
