Excellent modal jazz

WrongDemographic

At the risk of raining on an eMusic darling, I think this is a superior set to The Seagulls of Sunstrand. On the title track, Woody Shaw cuts loose with flurries of burnished notes that remind why his premature loss was one of the saddest. Rouse sounds more in his element. If I had to choose between the two sets, this is the one to grab. (Of course, with a total of five downloads between the two albums, be a sport and grab both.)

Two spare Mal Waldron compositions act as the basis for lengthy compositions on this interesting set. With trumpeter Woody Shaw, tenor-saxophonist Charlie Rouse, bassist Reggie Workman, drummer Ed Blackwell and the pianist-leader all having their opportunities to star, this advanced set has the feel of a high-quality jam session. – Scott Yanow
