I agree; this is a great record, worth 5 stars for the musicianship of the performers and the bright, fresh arrangements and solos this fine guitarist and his strong group realized. This record stands -in its own personal way- at the level of other "recent" brilliant reinterpretations of the music composed by Herbie Nichols, a tragic, overlooked figure of composer and pianist died in the '60s. I loved ICP Orchestra, Misha Mengelberg, Duck Baker, Herbie Nichols Project, Roswell Rudd, Buell Neidlinger and Marty Kristall's tributes to this music. Eric says strongly his own word about.Eric, may we have Vol.2, now?
