...and when the clouds broke, there was only sun...

"...it is raining fiercely outside, and although i thoroughly enjoy the rain...instead of just being gray, today just seems gloomy....
and then i put this into the cd player!!
this is a studio album, but with the warmth and joy that these men are playing with, you'd think that you were in some exclusive night club...nothing here that i would consider avant-garde, just some jazz men enjoying their chosen craft!
hamiet bluiett on baritone sax leads this four man ensemble, joined by nasheet waits on drums, jaribu shahid on bass and ed cherry on guitar. they put in work and the outcome is some of the best true jazz that anyone living has recently made.
mr. bluiett's style is like taking coltrane's skill and applying it to miles davis' sensibilities!! a true pleasure."
