Bassist and educator Rufus Reid shows that class is in session with a mix of his trio of Steve Allee/p, Duduka Da Fonseca-Kenneth Salters/dr with the Sirius String Quartetof Fung Chern Hwei-Gregor Huebner/fi, Ron Lawrence/va and Jeremy Harmon/cel on half of the pieces. The trio itself is nifty as Rufus swings deeply on “Cedar’s Blues”, gets introspective on “Transescape” and bluesy with the bop as the team digs in on “One For Amos”. The string quartet gives some pizzicato’s pleasures around Allee’s rich piano on “ This I Ask of You”, and is moody with Reid on the melancholic “Fallin In Love, dreamily waltzing on “Celestial Dance”. Chamber’d pleasures.
