Sophisticated, nuanced, gorgeous jazz,
By
This review is from: Facets (Audio CD)
Sometimes it almost seems as if the REALLY good ones get swallowed up in the hype expended on the MERELY good ones.I think that's the case here. All these players are top drawer. Yet none of them is exactly a household name. Steve Gilmore (bass) and Bill Goodman (drums) are, of course, the rhythm section of altoist Phil Woods greatest and longest running group. Gene Bertoncini, an acoustic guitar player of exceptional taste and sophistication, has graced many wonderful sessions. Yet, their collective presence is almost minimal. Leader Niewood (various woodwind instruments) is practically invisible on the modern jazz scene. Thus, a truly fine, even revelatory, session such as this is likely to get lost in the welter of more prominent jazz releases. Too bad. Certainly, this is among the finest offerings of 2004. It s(w)ings with an ease and grace seldom encountered in (Post)Modern jazz. Brimming with ease of expression and casual cleverness, this is a disc of the highest order of jazz accomplishment. Yet, it will probably slip entirely under the radar of top jazz discs of 2004. What a shame. I'm declaring it among the best of this year's offerings. Simply wonderful. Miss it at your peril.

This is a great recording of the late Gerry Niewood. Nice older jazz standards. I was hoping that it would have had more examples of Gerry's improvission skills on the flute and sopranno sax. Still a good addition to my collection and a fine memorry of a great sax & flute dubbler.

I bought this cd for my father who is a musician & knew Gerry. He has very much enjoyed it. What a loss for music.
