A tour-de-force of big band compositions. This goes from pretty swinging horn charts to modal ruminations to world music touches, threaded together by impassioned playing and the mind of Bob Moses. Too many jammers to count in this cast - I quickly browsed and saw Bill Frisell, Jim Pepper, Nana Vasconcelos, Sheila Jordan (with an amazing vocal on "Happy to Be Here Today")... This is a soul record, as in, good for the soul. Share widely and protect the dreaming elephants.
A desert island album for me! Haven't listened in a while... thanks for reminding me.
