Modern jazz guitar with a sense of history is delivered by Marc Ciprut on this bluesy collection of mostly originals. He’s teamed with the flexible rhythm section including all star Jimmy Haslip/b as well as James Genus/b, Tommi Rautiainan-Jon Cowherd-Etienne Lytle/key and other guests, making you feel you’re listening to some Steely Dan outtakes as Ciprut taps into his inner Larry Carlton on “Take A Cip” and “Kiss You Again”. There’s also some vintage swamp stuff wallowing around as Ciprut digs in with Lytle on the Memphisy “Roll It Out” and the grooving “Closer” , while Haslip and Cowherd get the mood funky for some snazzy picking on “Ciprut”. Stuff this guy into the Baked Potato!
