Time Within Itself

Drummer Michael Waldrop leads a hefty 17 piece band along with a handful of guests on this rich collection of originals. The moods mix from a fusion " Tunnell Vision which features Jim Tunnell's electric guitar to full and glowing harmonies which feature Walddrop on vibes for "Inner Truth." A clever military march includes Sandra Dudley's vocals and Tim Ishii's alto on "Her Moon Rises East" and some Bill Evans Trio inspired piano work is highlighted on "Time Within Itself." Impressive charts that are both sophisticated yet fun to enjoy for their own sake.
