Walt Weiskopf performs seven standards and three originals on this quartet set with pianist
Joel Weiskopf, bassist
Drew Gress and drummer
Steve Davis.
Weiskopf, who has written an instructional book on
John Coltrane's style, sounds too close for comfort to
'Trane on this otherwise enjoyable set. He is certainly a technically gifted player and his versions of such tunes as "You Go to My Head," "Moonlight on the Ganges," "Some Other Time" and "I Wish I Knew" are reasonably adventurous but
Weiskopf should really work on developing his own musical personality. ~ Scott Yanow
