"What a great CD! I lucked up and heard a cut on the radio of all places, and decided to check it out. Man was I in for a treat. Clarence Penn is a true jazz drummer. Among the best of our time. Who is he? That's the state of jazz today > great music, but in wider circles, little is known about the talented and driven musicians who are still carrying the flame. Check out the tightness and rhythmn on all the cuts. i.e. CP Time. Props to all the musicians. This pianoless quartet is tight! The solos are excellent. The tunes are dynamic and moving. Not for the dull or sedate. The mello tunes are ones that will stay in your memory. The CD is another prime example of art and expression of true jazz continuing. markT."
