The quartet (brothers Luques and Zaccai Curtis on bass and keys, respectively, plus Richie Barshay on drums and Reinaldo De Jesus on percussion) hits the ground running with a Rhodes- and percussion-driven taken on the Mongo Santamaria classic "Afro Blue". This is well-covered territory and the quartet more than ably adds to the list of excellent covers of this tune. The whole thing is great, but the percussion breakdown toward the end of the tune is particularly special. This tune sets the vibe for the album, which also includes the quartet's versions of classic tunes from Bud Powell ("Hallucinations"), Dizzie Gillespie ("Bebop"), Wayne Shorter ("Yes or No"), Cole Porter ("All of You"), Horace Silver ("Quicksilver"), and Marvin Gaye ("What's Going On"), among others, plus the Zaccai Curtis-penned title track. |
