Magichord Rucker's Album Reviews
I have a fairly substantial jazz collection, and this album is one of my top ten favorites or so. All three players are in peak form, at the top of their game here. Holland's performances are just as amazing here as on any of his albums as a leader. And the cool bonus is that it's an audiophile grade recording and mastering sound quality. Haynes's drumming in particular sounds stunningly real, one of the very best recordings of a trap set I've ever heard, period. You can't go wrong, just buy it...it's top-flight jazz by any standard.
