Although
Barry Altschul is showcased on a solo performance on "Hey Toots!," and there is a trio piece with pianist
Muhal Richard Abrams and bassist
Dave Holland, the highlights of this excellent album are the other selections that feature interplay between
Sam Rivers (on tenor, flute, and soprano) and trombonist
George Lewis.
Lewis in particular has rarely been heard in this type of relatively straightforward (if still adventurous) setting and really excels. ~ Scott Yanow
