Hindsight

You get more with less with the drummerless Affinity Trio consisting of Eric Jacobson/tp, Pamela York/p and Clay Schaub/b on this mix of boppers and originals. York and Schaub take turns supplying the feel, with bluesy beauty for Jacobson's sweet horn on "Open Windows" and bringing an easy peppy feel to Cedar Walton's "Hindsight". York is elegant and soft for Jacobson's horn on "Theme For Ernie" with Schaub supplying nimble fingers on "Tin Tin Deo". Most fun are the boppers, with the team going at a sprinter's pace at Charlie Parker's "Bongo Beep" and groovin' high on "Segment". You might have to make sure you're not clanging the glasses when you see them in concert, but it's a sacrifice worth making.
