Genre: Jazz
FCCs: none
Review: Superb outing bringing together some of Chicago’s leading lights in the jazz world. Straight ahead jazz with several other musical genres in the mix. All originals by tenor saxophonist Shevitz. Several stellar solos are sprinkled within. I really liked the entire disc, and some more than others.
If You Like: Sonny Rollins, Bill Connors, McCoy Tyner, Ron Carter, Art Blakey

**1/ Indebted (6:17) - sax starts> uptempo funky jam> quick fade
2/ The S’Morito (6:50) – drums start> midtempo jam> crescendo & fade
*3/ 721 (6:10) – drums/sax start> slow jam> slow fade
**4/ Sophie’s Quiet Piece (6:03) – piano chords start> slow duet with sax> slow fade
*5/ The Bee (6:46) – bass/sax start> midtempo strut> quick stop
*6/ Forward Motion – guitar starts> fast spirited jam> quick fade
7/ Resignation (6:25) – piano starts> midtempo duet with sax> slow fade
