MUSIC REVIEW BY Tom Haugen, Take Effect

VIEW THE CD DETAIL PAGE

The trumpet extraordinaire Eric Jacobson is in the company of Geof Bradfield (tenor sax), Bruce Barth (piano), Dennis Carroll (bass) and George Fludas (drums) for these 8 harmonic, rhythmic and meticulous jazz songs.

"New Combinations" starts the listen with a frisky pace of warm brass, energetic drums and timeless jazz sensibilities that we could never tire of, and "Discover" follows with a soulful quality that emits much beauty amid the cautious textures.

Halfway through, "The Unknown" is a reflective and rich album highlight that benefits much from Barth's sublime keys, while "Sir John" bops and shakes with an infectious spirit that spolights Jacobson's skilled trumpet prowess.

The final 2 tracks, "One Way" and "Old Folks", don't disappoint either, where the former radiates a free jazz sort of exploration, and the latter exits with an intimate mood that's quite absorbing.

A very stylish and accomplished outing, these tracks can swing firmly, but also retreat to calm in the very capable hands of these 5 esteemed musicians.
