(5 out of 5 stars)
"Spectacular modern jazz by Bergonzi, Stern, LaVerne, Mraz, Hart. This is the way to go in modern jazz. Respect for traditions, innovative approach, beautiful renditions of immortal standards and tasteful originals, great solists. Acoustic sounds in an electric contest ... Wonderful, extremely interesting renditions of standards here (not the same boring arrangements) like Dolphin street, Yesterdays, Lover man as well as impressive, technically challenging and emotionally rich originals by Bergonzi. "Fall" by Shorter and "Windows" by Corea end a perfect album, extremely well balanced in song choice, line up, sounds and improvisations. Ten stars."
