Paul Nash, the cat that gave breaks to Mark Isham, Tim Reis, Dave
Samuels, Vic Juris and many more decided to create some lasting works
before being fallen by a brain tumor. Some of his proteges got
together and really kicked it out on some high octane works that are
long on energy, deep chops and a general hot playing that serves as a
fitting tribute to a cat that gave a lot while being in the background
to most. A real jazz ear opener, contemporary jazzbos will dig this in
a big way. There's a lot going on, it's the kind of set that you have
to listen to more than once and more than casually to really get all
that is going on. Well worth your time.
