Title: Accurate Title: New Directions for Old Tunes
Product review: This is (was) a very young band of very hot players. I recommend it highly both to listeners with a broad background in jazz and to those without. Those with a background will recognize all the tunes: Song for My Father, Recorda Me, Beatrice, Three Way Split, etc. They are all great jazz tunes, redone in a hip style. Those without a background will encounter a set of great compositions, played in a very engaging manner. The rhythm section grooves--hear especially the odd time-feeling of Recorda Me--the soloists are hot, and most of all the arrangements are novel and exciting. Greg Osby's alto playing is great, and the piano playing of Jason Moran is a special highlight. It is a CD that you can easily listen to many times over. I recommend it.
