The Brooklyn-based Common Quartet features the sleekly swinging team of Seth Trachy/ts, Nitzan Gavrieli/p, Pablo Menares/b and Alex Wyatt/dr, and they are adept at creating some hip and suave grooves on this highly enjoyable release. Trachy has a Getz-like warmth to his tenor, and it works well on the post bop “ Zam” and muscular “Bigfoot” while Wyatt’s ride cymbal drives the team along on a hip bopper of “Lazy Bird.” Gavrieli and Menares do some nimble work on “ Don’t Hide,” while guest Steve Cardenas brings his guitar to team up with Wyatt’s brushes on the subtle “Gemmi” and deeply pocketed “Empty Castle.” Lots to like here; give it a chance.
