MUSIC REVIEW BY Jack Garner, Rochester Democrat & Chronicle

VIEW THE CD DETAIL PAGE

Rochester?s great jazz tradition has given birth to an inordinate number of superb drummers, including Steve Gadd, Joe La Barbera, John Beck, and Mike Melito. Right in that mix is Rich Thompson. This latest album ? his best yet ? is a polished, straight-ahead offering (but with none of its soulful grit polished off.) A wonderful quintet ? rising trumpeter Terell Stafford, saxophonist Doug Stone, pianist Gary Versace, and bassist Jeff Campbell ? contribute mightily to a first-rate project. Thompson plays crisply, keeping tight rhythms, mixing up approaches, adding fabulous grace percussion, and working in sublime harmony with Campbell on bass. I?m eager to catch Terell Stafford
