"Again, someone has to review this one,It beats me that noone have not done it already, I mean, players like Bernstein and Goldings are wellknown world class players. On this one you have to give a lot of credit to Larry Goldings, he sets the groove, his playing is very cool and at the same time he is "cookin" , and his bass lines kills me I can not get his solo on "Means amd Ends" out of my head, It is a masterpiece. Credits also to Steve Davis on Trombone a new aqquintance to me, and Eric Alexander,the only negative thing I can come up with is that Alexander should perhaps been given more solo space. And Bernstein??? His playing has matured here compared to his first CD from 1992, he digs deeper into the songs, and often his playing is so beautiful that it almost hurts when you are listening, it touches me deeply, I have in particular "While we are young" in mind. Evertyhing is so flawless. Someone suggested Bernstein is "Green meets Hall" Yeah... there might be something in that. I can only highly recommend this one."
