Goines is well known for his work in Wynton Marsalis’ septet and the LCJO. This CD showcases him in a simple quartet and the results are fabulous. Goines is truly versatile. On this recording he plays tenor sax, soprano sax and clarinet. His sound is distinct on each instrument. His tenor is exquisitely full, in a Ben Webster sort of way. His soprano sings and his clarinet has a haunting aura that conjures up all sorts of images. The rhythm section is right on. Kudos!
