5.0 out of 5 stars
Super grooves from Alvin and the band, April 27, 2007
This review is from: I Ain't Looking at You (Audio CD)
I picked this album up the other day and it really is great. Alvin leads an excellent group with some spot-on drumming, creating a great feel for the band to show what they can do. Jesse Davis is not someone I've heard play before; he puts in a superb showing with some really polished playing on sax. Terrel Stafford on trumpet I have heard play live before and was blown away then; I'm not disappointed now! Overall there's a great laid-back bluesy style to this set, though Alvin still injects a sense of urgency in the right places. It all works really well. Mike LeDonne brings in some great Hammond licks and Peter Bernstein rounds of an excellent quintet on guitar.
Recommended!
