High quality, low key jazz

"A pleasant surprise. Excellent, unpretentious, mellow, recently recorded jazz with recognizable tunes is surprisingly uncommon. This groups performs these well-known show tunes and standards with a high quality of musicianship and in a low key approach. The instrumentation is consistent throughout, with guitar, piano, bass, drums and occasionally vibes. The improvizations are excellent. While listing keyboards, there is little or no 'electronic' sound here, which is to my liking. I very much enjoyed listening to this disc on its merits, I could use this as background music at home, and I will recommend it to friends who ask for "mellow jazz.""
