Dewey mixes it up

"The opening two tracks really throw you off - because they are standards played straight - nice showing from Dewey, but not quite what I expected.But then I-Pimp came on and Dewey was back in the Avante Garde I was looking for. Turns out this album swings both ways, nice standards, mixed in with some challenging material.Rita Marcotulli in particular deserves mention. She's a pianist and does a great job. But then, the whole band have that "road" feel and plat very tight. Of the 8 numbers there are three Avante Garde numbers. The ebb and flow works great. Recommended CD indeed."
