Title: Mellow outing
Product review: On this his second CD as leader, Dan Barrett emphasizes his mellow approach to jazz. Only two tunes here are taken up-tempo, the rest done slowly or in a medium groove where melody comes to the fore. Barrett's trombone is supported by just a rhythm section (Ray Sherman on piano, Davis Stone on bass, and Jake Hanna on drums). "Blue Chu" is an interesting 12-bar blues, and "I love you," "I surrender dear," and the title track are all done wonderfully. A very enjoyable CD.
