Title: Very Good
Product review: Mitch Seidman appears on other Brownstone CDs and has a lot to offer. His playing is always clear and lyrical, with an absence of the showier improvising that is part of the Jazz guitarist's stock in trade. Some of the most delectable moments of this album come from Seidman's duets with bass player Harvie Swartz, who is a highly inventive and imaginative soloist. On several cuts Seidman is joined by two reed players, including the excellent Leonard Hochman, and these numbers swing more and have more oomph than the subtler trio numbers. The sound engineering is clear and well balanced, not focused exclusively on Seidman. Afficianados of Jazz guitar playing should find this CD very welcome.
