I would rate this music as 4 of 5 stars. I really like the modern approach towards fusion inspired Miles Davis. Jeremy Pelt has got some unique ideas going here that's cool and fashionable enough to introduce to the modern music audience to Jazz, just like Miles Davis in his time. But I just couldn't get into Roxy Coss' saxophone...I felt no soul behind her playing.
But the main atrocity with this album is the sound quality. Why I subtracted 3 of 4 stars. It's just too freaking loud to enjoy, I can never finish the CD from start to finish with out becoming ear fatigued and irritated. In fact a lot of Jeremy Pelts albums are like this, all the MaxJazz issues, and most of the HighNote ones. The common link between them all is the mastering engineer Katsuhito Naito. This man is either deaf or he used to master loud heavy metal or something but he has ruined a number of Jeremy Pelts albums by making them sound like thick walls of noise. I must be hard on this because this trend of loudness in music has to stop!
Here are the results of the Dymamic Range Meter I ran this album through, it has a score of DR6 making it THE loudest jazz album I have in my collection. I will also post a image in the picture section of the waveform of the loudest track 6 'Stay' which is DR4 by itself.
