Tenor saxophonist Wayne Escoferry, who has established himself as one of the foremost modern jazz players of our time, presents new works by David Kikoski (piano), Ugonna Okegwo (bass), and Mark Whitfield Jr (drums.) Focusing on a quartet, this is a noteworthy album featuring gorgeous guests such as Gregory Porter (vocals), Tom Harrell (trumpet), and Mike Moreno (guitar) depending on the song. Every song is full of hard bop, fresh and energetic songs reminiscent of the new mainstream. The supple yet heavy, sophisticated acoustic sound typical of NYC is a must-listen.
