Don't miss out on this one!

(4 out of 5 stars)
"1990 - Geri Allen, piano, Kenny Garrett, alto and straight alto sax, Marcus Belgrave, trumpet, Robert Hurst, bass, Jeff "Tain" Watts, drums, Eli Fountain, percussion.
The music is highly interesting! Bold, complex, energetic, beautiful acoustic jazz, typical of its period. There's some effortless blending of different subdivisions of rhythm (Watts and Hurst have teamed up before...), some spirited almost-free blowing, some serious loose and groovy second-line blues romping, floating, all-encompassing jazz music. All the players deliver, and the band sound is great. Geri Allen rocks. Open your ears and dig in.
Get this one if you can."
