MUSIC REVIEW BY George Harris, Jazz Weekly

VIEW THE CD DETAIL PAGE

Guitarist Barry Greene sticks to his color charts as he gives hints of guitarist Grant Green on this satisfyingly swinging stringed session. He switches between Pat Bianchi/B3, David Kikoski/p, Steve Nelson/vib and Marco Panascia/b, with Ulysses Owens Jr/dr being the only other constant, supplying a supple support. With Bianchi's humming Hammond, Greene brings in some clever effects on the delicate opening to buildup blueser "Backtrack" wile "Green Street" is a sublime glide and the Latin "El Hombre" a rivulet of an organ grinder. Kikoski and Nelson simmer on "Unit 7" while the supplying a lovely frame for Greene on the graceful "In Her Room", with "My One and Only Love" allowing the leader to give an aria in the spotlight, with clearly drawn lines, suitable for a silhouette. Mega-verdian tones.
