Drummer Jacob Wutzke brings in a vintage sounding post bop team of Rachel Therrien/tp-fh, Lucas Dubovik/ts, Bryn Roberts/p and Ira Coleman/b for a collection of toe tapping originals. In trio format, Roberts and Wutzke get nimble with Coleman on “Pee Wee”, wh
ile with the horns hints of The Jazz Messengers is never far away as n “Ancient Eyes” and “Arboretum”. Wutzke delivers a nice ¾ pulse for the horns on ”Qwaltz” and glides on the ride for “Sister Cheryl”. Dubovik has a bold Hank Mobley flavored tenor over the crisp sticks on ”Like A Bird” an Therrien shines on the stop starting modal madness of the title tune. A blue plate of Blue Notes.
