Adam Larson plays saxes with his trio of bassist Ben Leifer and drummer Kizilarmut on this album dedicated to the mood of 12th and Vine. The team stop-starts on the clever “New Thread” and gives a clever calypso to “Life Cycle” with Larson’s alto in Parkeresque form on the snappy Bird bopper “Chi Chi”. His soprano is sweet with a wide vibrato for the laconic “Simple Beauty”. Leifer gives a palpable intro to the deep dig of “ Beautitudes’ and the three are whimsical for “The Jewel” as Kizilarmut is crisp as he supplies the rocking backbeat to “REL”. Baby backed ribs of sound.
