Cecil Brooks III - Drums, Producer Don Braden - Sax (Tenor) Dwayne Dolphin - Bass John Hicks - Piano Riley Mullins - Trumpet
Some cats just seem to fall out of bed swinging, full of fire and forever seeking those flames. Call them the good groove merchants, and make sure you include Cecil Brooks III in this exclusive coterie. One thing you can always count on when Cecil Brooks sits down to the drums, regardless of the context, the music will snap, crackle, pop, and most of all...it'll swing! The five extended selections on this record are an apt reflection of this agreeable intersection of an ebullient leader, a collection of skillful players, and comfort of place. Featuring John Hicks, perhaps the hardest-hitiing pianist in jazz today (and one of the busiest), Don Braden, questionably one of the most underestimated tenor players of our time and others, Cecil puts the band through their paces before a full house at New York's famed jazz venue, Sweet Basil.
* Joe Fields - Executive Producer * John Lee - Engineer, Mastering * R. Andrew Lepley - Photography * Willard Jenkins - Liner Notes
This is a set of mostly driving hard bop as played by five superior New York-based musicians. Drummer Cecil Brooks III contributed three of the five songs (only one piece is under 11 minutes), which the group performs along with "Chelsea Bridge" and "But Beautiful." While tenor saxophonist Don Braden, veteran pianist John Hicks, and bassist Dwayne Dolphin are known, the date might be most significant for showing that young trumpeter Riley Mullins has no difficulty keeping up with the other musicians and is in their league. This disc is easily recommended to fans of modern hard bop. ---- Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
