Christian Scott has just a madness Tromp sound, melancholy, strong, full of Blues ... Whoever it is open, the no longer does this trumpet out of my head, who wants more. Congenially his fellow musicians. Especially the classic, but tightly grooving sound carpet of drummer Jamire Williams drives the belt motor irresistibly. Listening to catch an occasional feet with batting on. The quintet plays ecstatic, like an organism, very dense and compact, without endless fraying solo ego trips. YYST could therefore also people like that jazz so often annoying.
However, it is also clear that this album will never be one of the big milestones of jazz. For this purpose it contains too little in turn truly innovative. But why YYST give no 5 stars, would be absolutely unfair in my view. Christian Scott's young and can still move big. Just listen. But be careful: This album can be addictive!
