One of the longest standing fusion groups, The Yellow Jackets, like Ol’ Man River, keep right on moving along. This latest album has the current and long standing team of Bob Mintzer/ts-EWI, Russell Ferrante/p-key, Dane Alderson/b-MIDI and Will Kennedy/dr with guest Paul Midon/voc-g adding some extra flavor, as on the exotic sounding “The Lion”. The te4am gives a fun and funky feel to the classic “Comin’ Home Baby” with Mintzer’s EWI in soulful form, while sounding Weather Reportish on the upbeat “An Interesting Dream” His vintage Sonny Rollins-ish tenor is big and warm on Fasten Up” and bluesy on the shuffling “Swingmeister General”. Ferrante is a lyrical master, with his piano graceful on the galloping “November 8” and thoughtful on a kinetic “ The Unresolved Question”. Aging like a French wine.
