The compositions are effective vehicles for the soloing and Parker gives us a
good slather of post-Dunbar-Green bluesy post-bop that can stretch and go into
some edginess or stay in the pocket. It's in the tradition and onto the farther
borders of it at the same time. Chad Taylor, as always, can whip up a firey
drum accompaniment that has the well-paced "smart smoke" of the master he
is. Hyland Harris's well conceived liner notes mention Parker's arc soloing
dynamics. And as you listen you hear how his solos build effectively, generally
hit a peak and wind down.

All of this takes place in a situation where Lopes's bass gives the music that
strong fundamental anchorage it demands, whether it be in a harmonic shift or
laying down a pattern with style and energy.

There are some excellent rhythmic motifs, some really ear catching written
lines and most of all there is the very hot interplay between Parker and
Taylor, guitar and drums.

It's a winner all the way. A guitar trio with something to express, a new
handle on the in & out tradition. Most definitely recommended.
