How can you put into a few words what a multitalented musician Herbie is? Once again he has taken a traditional idea and redefined it. 

Herbie, rather than producing an album of 'Jazz' standards he has woven into this framework 'contemporary' music. So you have 'New York minute'  from Henley, 'Love is stronger than pride' from Sade, 'Norwegian Wood' the Beatles, 'Scarborough fair from Simon and Garfunkel, 'Your gold teeth' from Steely Dan...amongst others.

So you have spectacular musicians (Herbie, Brecker, Schofield, de Johnette, Alias), songs with killer arrangements and the best recording equipment available. Next level playing with new sounds.

Just wonderful.
