This is one of the FINEST jazz albums ever to be released!! Curtis Lundy, who has played with some of the greatest jazz artists ever, is greatly influenced by the career and musicians of Betty Carter. Curtis has produced great sophisticated songs in this work. The collaboration of the artists are each GIFTED masters in their own right and the blend of their sounds is perfection! Just to name a few are Bobby Watson one of the top altoists on sax for decades; Roy Hargrove a well-respected musician with quite a list of accomplishments on trumpet, flute and flugelhorn; John Hicks on piano whose career has a long and brilliant span; Peven Everett who has played with the likes of the Marsalis brothers to name a few; Winard Harper, as a seasoned jazz performer at an early age has jammed with the top jazz musicians; Anthony Wonsey, a fluid pianist with a great association with the giants of jazz; and Shelley Carrol, brilliant tenor sax man. Check out (sister) Carmen Lundy's contribution of songwriting collaboration and her incredibly stylish vocals. She shines on "A Long Journey", "Where'd It Go?" and "Blue Woman". An accomplished jazz vocalist in her own name, her interpretations are (as always) rich and satisfying. One of the real cooking numbers is "Groydology". This song will BLOW YOU AWAY!! It's infectious beginning gradually spotlights each musician's individual artistry as the song continues its funky trek through the swingin' melodies and chords! Nearly 12 minutes long, I never get enough of this song. "Teardrops" has a sultry, haunting feel. Pay special attention to the wondrous solo from Roy Hargrove. "Blue Woman" highlights Carmen Lundy's vocal instrument as one of the most soulful in the jazz world! A MUST for the jazz music lover. In fact EVERY real jazz connoissuer needs to add this cd to their collection!!!
