The first live CD by
Kim Richmond
's sextet is full of extended performances (five of the seven numbers clock in between 9:46 and 16:08) and dynamic solos. When the song is a standard, such as a lengthy exploration of
"You Don't Know What Love Is"
or
"Invitation,"
the renditions are episodic, benefiting from
Richmond
's arranging skills. The originals (of which the explosive
"Fuzzy Wuzzy"
is a high point) are inside/outside, allowing the soloists to stretch out and take the music on inspired flights.
(mostly on alto but doubling on soprano) is heard at his very best, and trumpeter
John Daversa
recalls
Kenny Wheeler
in spots, while
Joey Sellers
makes one wonder why he is not mentioned when one discusses the top trombonists around today.
Rich Eames
and
Brian Friedland
(heard on separate dates) do an equally fine job on piano while bassist
Kristin Korb
and drummer
Erik Klass
offer alert and tasteful support. The music is complex but the playing is colorful and the results are quite logical and a joy to hear. Highly recommended. ~ Scott Yanow
