Customer Reviews

One of the best things....5
I bought this CD after hearing Jeff, Christoph and Tamir play most of the songs at a local jazz club. This CD is mesmerizing and one of the few instances where a recording can maintain a lot of the energy of a live performance. Jeff does things with a trio that you would expect could only be done with a big band and Tamir's arrangements are simply amazing. If you love jazz with excellent timing, you must buy this CD.

Once Again...Under-rated!5
When are the so-called reviewers going to learn that they have to perpetuate the jazz idiom instead of compromising it. This is a sterling example of one of those albums that should be a five star album. However, the reviewers are always negligent in awarding this accolade because of some hidden itinery or agenda. Hamilton has learned a lot about formulating a trio from his days with Ray Brown. The first thing that hit me was..."oh my gosh, the Ray Brown Trio re-incarnated." Upon further listening, this is not the case. With a deep bow to Brown, Hamilton makes this his own trio. Hendelmen, deserves a ton of accolades. He is a refreshing new sound on the scene bringing new insight into the performed fare. Luty is the glue that binds this group tightly together. Luty has a big sound! Loved the entire album and loved the way Hamilton builds the album (as a whole) to a crescendo. Jeffery, you "has" learned well!

Varied choice of tunes , different grooves and solid playing4
This album was a good find and I would have a hard time finding it for sale in Australia . It mixes some well known tunes done in different arrangements as well as some as new material .

Jeff has done a great job of finding other trio members .
He is familiar with what is required to succeed with the trio format , having worked in the past with the late great bassist Ray Brown - I suggest you look up "Ray Brown Trio" on Amazon and look for albums such as Summer Wind and Don't Get Sassy .

I recommend it to all lovers of trio jazz .
