5.0 out of 5 stars Near Perfect July 28, 2009
Format:Audio CD
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Do Not Let the Title Put You Off! July 26, 2009
Format:Audio CD
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.
