"I stumbled onto this CD by accident. What an incredible treasure to find! Bob Nell is one of the most inventive pianists I've heard in a long time. This CD is filled with fresh melodic ideas from the piano and brass. And the rhythm section is rock solid - so tight you could bounce a quarter on it. If you like jazz, you need to own this CD. Nell reminds me of a modern-day Herbie Nichols. His approaches to each tune are completely novel. You practically never know what's around the next corner until you turn it and ... voila! You're glad you took the trip. Buy this CD. Buy it now. Your mind will thank you."
