A tasteful, warm guitar/organ trio

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Vic Juris' tasty, agile, imaginative guitar lines will appeal to fans of Jim Hall and John Abercrombie, and this album finds him in a warm and swinging setting with organist Jesse Chandler and drummer Tim Horner. It's not groundbreaking music, but it's damn appealing, fluid, and subtle, with a fresh selection of covers including the title track, Hall's should-be-classic "Careful," and Wes Montgomery's "Road Song."



Montgomery's superb trios with Mel Rhyne provide the presiding spirit for these sessions, but Chandler is a highly unusual player whose tone-colors are brighter than the usual jazz B-3 fare. Recommended."
