Pianist Brad Whiteley explores his thoughtful compositions with a sextet of Matt Pavolka/b, Kenneth Salters/dr, Tom Guarna/g and Michael Eaton/ts. Some sepia hues pervade with Guarna’s guitar on the driving “Dusk” and the country-ish “Dark Days” with a hint of The Bad Plus an influence on Whiteley as he converses with Pavolka on “Everything Changes” and skates with the brushing Salters on the rumbling “When We Meet.” Eaton’s tenor is bluesy on a boppy “K Car Funk ‘83” and is hip along with the leader on a hip “Sunset Park.” Richly hued modern moments.
