Start to finish this is a shiney production of straight ahead bop. Its consistency is excellent. No tune is a let down. Those who prefer smooth or commercial jazz will be out of their element. I am reluctant to call this music throw back but it does draw from the best of the 50s and 60s.
This may be the best jazz I have bought this year. Procure this CD and enjoy.

No, it is not a remake of Miles Davis's Kind of Blue. It is top notch modern jazz by a group of great musicians. The songwriting is solid, and the recording sounds very good. I highly recommend this CD.

Christian McBride records another masterpiece of moderized mainstream jazz, paying homage to the likes of Ray Brown, Sam Jones and Paul Chambers. Beautifully done!

The musicianship is superb. The songs are ordinary in their execution. This could be well done with a better arranger/producer. Read more
