The music is accessible yet deeply entrenched with the 'real deal'...creative band with clever surprises throughout! From the powerful and forward moving Not At This Time to the sultry and funky final track Strasbourg/St. Denis a lot of great music takes place.
The band is very in tune with each other and the music. The improvisation is grounded, yet free of clich's. One of the most impressive traits of the CD is how creative the band is used both in terms of the great variety of solo order throughout the recording, as well as, the organic and creative nature of each arrangement. We find clever surprises throughout, such as the energetic drum solo at the end of Not At This Time, or the way the bass solos are used in My One and Only Love as transitions between the trumpet and piano statements.
"The imagination and wit displayed in the organization of the material, in combination with Jim Ketch's hard driving yet flexible trumpet playing gives this recording a fresh unique quality that will provide many hours of listen
ing pleasure to many jazz fans.'' -Marcus Roberts
