Bassist Will Lyle has assembled a collection of premiere artists to perform a well balanced menu of originals and a few lengthy standards. Among the veterans on the session are Dave Kikoski, piano, and Billy Drummond, drums. The remaining players (not every guy on every track) are new names to me. Just the same, it's easy to discern the years of hard work they've put in to arrive at this level. There are seven tunes in all including those standards already indicated. They are: “Autumn Nocturne”, “All Of You”, and “On A Clear Day”. The latter tune features a fresh and happy vocal by a singer only identified as Sirintip. Odd but true. In any case, there's a lot to like here. So hats off to Will Lyle and pals. Thanks for keeping the essence of jazz alive and lively.
