Jazz trombonist Ryan Keberle & musical friends embark on an artistic sojourn that is tantamount to an eventful and broadly designed art-fest! This CD jazz project bustles and luxuriates with haunting and mysterious moments of rhythm, harmony, and melody to also peaceful moments of lyrical relief as well. I am particularly attracted to the group's treatment of the jazz classic and deceptively tempo-d tune ''Our Love Is Here To Stay'' with its versatile and singular delivery!

Subtle, imaginative, pause, and mood are words that I feel sum up the direction Keberle has in mind for our musical instruction with his new project. Particularly striking, is Ryan's propensity to produce tension and harmonic and melodic suspense with his compelling song arrangements. All in all, this is a CD project that will test your matrix of musical acceptance while you wander through Keberle's musical ideas and his wonderfully planned and resourceful imagination.
