Another fine album by tenorist Bob Kenmotsu whereby he brings together some of his past musical colleagues: pianist Bob Corwin, bassist Danny Flahive and drummer Ron Marabuto. Together they explore and interpret a broad range of tunes and well-known jazz standards. All players are in fine form, there's not a note out of place. As a leader and producer Bob Kenmotsu fires up the quartet creating a vibrant and wonderfully entertaining atmosphere. All the showcased compositions are treated with great fervor and aptitude. Recommended.
