Fresh take on jazz that won't make it to your radio
Scott Woods | Columbus, Ohio United States | 11/23/2002
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Pianist David Berkman gives us a lilting, solid record of mostly original music (save one track, which I appreciate more and more from cats who play jazz these days) with an incredible band (Brain Blade - drums; Chris Cheek - tenor; Sam Newsome - soprano; Duick Oatts - alto/flute; Ugonna Okegwo - bass). The songs bounce and swing and fall squarely in the vein of, say, where Charles Fambrough was hitting back in the early/mid-ninties. This is what Joshua Redman hears in his head when he plays. Not smooth jazz and not dusty...a beautiful middle ground of traditions and voices. Track 8 best exemplifies what's right with this record all around, so go ahead and take a risk on an underrated album that'll make people notice you when you play it in the office, car or house party."
