Reviewed: 2019-07-08 Genre: Jazz FCCs: none Review: On his latest disc, saxophonist Robinson seems to be more of a visionary here than usual, a move from being an already great saxophonist to being a strong leader and writer as well! The album's way more than the sum of its parts – thanks in part to a wealth of original compositions by Robinson, which propel the whole group forward with a unified spirit – one that often has all members of the quartet contributing equally. If You Like: Sonny Rollins, McCoy Tyner Track Review (favorites denoted by *): *1/ At First Light (6:54) – sax solo starts> piano starts slow, swings into uptempo jam> rocking piano solo> wailing sax solo> midtempo jam> crescendo end *2/ Inner Limits (5:10) – drums/sax start> uptempo jam> sax solo> piano solo> drum solo> uptempo jam> crescendo end **3/ Lamentations For R And D (5:12) – piano/sax starts> midtempo jam> drum solo> piano solo> midtempo jam> sax solo swings uptempo> sizzling piano solo> uptempo jam> crescendo & fade 4/ Love Thy Father (5:05) – sax starts> slow tempo jam> piano solo> sax solo> slow jam> slow fade **5/ Cool Blues (5:19) – piano/bass/drums start> uptempo jam> rocking piano solo> sax solo> uptempo jam> crescendo end 6/ Paula (4:27) – drums/sax start> uptempo jam> sax solo> uptempo jam> piano solo> uptempo jam> slow fade & quick stop *7/ What’s New (5:34) – drums start slow> slow hesitating jam> piano solo> sax solo> slow jam swells in volume & tempo, then slows again> slow fade | ||
