Album Notes & Community Reviews
The highly anticipated debut from the virtuosic vibraphonist firmly establishes him as a premier voice in modern post-bop. Backed by a tightly rehearsed quintet, the compositions are extraordinarily dynamic, effortlessly shifting from mellow soul-jazz interludes to exceptionally dense and energetic improvisational flights.
