5.0 out of 5 stars Great Band...
This is a great, great disc. This was actually my introduction to Mr Harrell's incredible trumpet/flugelhorn playing. He is lyrical, probing, and melodic. The duet of "Everything Happens to Me" is a great example of his subtle lyricism. He has you dangling from one note to the next. Up tempo tunes to ballads his sense of rhythm and song is impeccable.

3.0 out of 5 stars PERHAPS YOU HAD TO BE THERE

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Band..., April 8, 2009
This review is from: Live at the Village Vanguard (Audio CD)
This is a great, great disc. This was actually my introduction to Mr Harrell's incredible trumpet/flugelhorn playing. He is lyrical, probing, and melodic. The duet of "Everything Happens to Me" is a great example of his subtle lyricism. He has you dangling from one note to the next. Up tempo tunes to ballads his sense of rhythm and song is impeccable. His band is the same... Xavier Davis on piano and Jimmy Greene on Tenor are particularly commendable. Original tunes are snappy and even hummable... Tom Harrell is not a master technician, but he does make every note count and you'll find yourself anticipating the next note or phrase. The band members are really familiar with each other's playing and they are caught in fine form here...

This is too bad because after hearing so much about Tom Harrell I was wanting to like this much more. Maybe next time.
