Reviews of this album: "You can't judge a pianist by the tunes
he covers...or can you? This
CD certainly looks appealing, particularly to fans of jazz piano, as
it features pieces by Thelonius Monk, Horace Silver, and Bill Evans
among others. The album lives up to it's promise...Brown is a melodist
at heart, well-versed in swing and bop traditions. The tunes are not
laced with the usual assortment of harmonic clichés. Instead, the trio
moves from push-pull cadences into momentum-accruing choruses and crisp
exchanges. -The Washington Post".

Personnel: Larry Brown, piano; Kent Miller,
bass; Greg Holloway, drums; Kyle Funn,
trumpet and flugelhorn; Peter Fraize, tenor saxophone
Reviews of this album: True to form, Brown and his Quintet have produced something of note here.
The impetus for the group's music is captured in the CD's title; the Quintet plays out of a
hard bop bag, from the era of classic Blue Note recordings coming out of Rudy Van Gelder's
studio. Brown and his men pay tribute to this era by reinventing it; this is not mere
imitation. This is straight-ahead jazz at it's best, with a forthright approach to well
chosen material, supported by first rate soloists and a rock-solid rhythm section. -JazzReview.com
