Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded at the Sunset Auditorium in Carmel, California, this exceptionally tight live set sees the vibraphonist moving slightly away from heavily Afro-Cuban rhythms toward a straight-ahead cool aesthetic. The fiercely swinging, remarkably airy instrumental interplay brilliantly highlights the sophisticated, intellectualized clarity of West Coast ensembles.
