Tenor saxist Rich Halley forms a freebop team with Michael Vlatkovich/tb, Clyde Reed/b and Carson Halley/dr for some herky jerky originals. Hints of Charles Mingus are felt throughout, with sowm fun pre-swingish festivities on the traditional “Retrogade” while the horns go languid on “Th Return”. Kinetic pulses bounce on the three legged race of “Spherical Aberration” wit Vlatkovich going deep on “Strethicn the Sinews’ and the leader’s thick tone grooving on the elastic “The Truth”. Between rivulets and an air shaft.
