Album Notes & Community Reviews

The acclaimed vibraphonist leads a sophisticated, profoundly rhythmic exploration of modern post-bop and blues forms. Flanked by a wildly inventive rhythm section, his virtuosic improvisations remain incredibly mellow, highly technical, and completely ethereal throughout. It stands as a flawless, breathtakingly smooth instrumental achievement in the contemporary acoustic jazz landscape.
