Known for his work with Ralph Peterson, Darren Barret and Jeremy Pelt, Jimmy Greene assumes the lead in this, his 4th release. But for me it was the first time to buy one of his CDs. He brought together a great band for this one, with Jeremy Pelt, Xavier Davis, Reuben Rogers, and Eric Harland. The music clearly falls into the contemporary jazz genre, but is a great mix of slow and fast, laid back and on the edge, new and old. He even mixes in a Swedish hymn, a Fred Hammond song and a little Monk, along with several originals. I like it!
