Critic’s Review
Craig Lytle, All Music Guide
With a less-than-famous cast of players, this collection of contemporary jazz compositions are a good listen. Most of the numbers paint a picture of an uptown nightclub scene. Bassist Kenny Wright and his cohorts shine through each tune with precision, creativity and feeling.
