MONTREAL saxophonist Joel Miller composed 10 of the 11 tracks on this energetic, engaging outing featuring a crack rhythm section of pianist Geoffrey Keezer, bassist Fraser Hollins and drummer Greg Ritchie that helps the tenor player stretch out of his comfort zone. "Afternoon Off" is just what it suggests, an easy romp, while Step Into My Office ramps it for a fast thrill ride. Miller is a solid player with no affectations, and a keen ear for sidemen. 4 stars
