Great Album posted on 10/22/2009 5 Stars Reviewer: Kevin This is a must get for any jazz lover. Post bop kind of tunes with just great playing by all. My only point of dislike is the way the piano is spread from the left to the right speaker... its like a 12 foot keyboard in the room. I would have preferred keeping the piano more in a space. Other than that its a fine album worthy to be in your library. Christian McBride certainly is one of the top jazz bass players on the scene.
