Bassist Alex McLaughlin brings all stars Jeremy Pelt/tp, Jeremy Siskind/p and Tina Raymond/dr together for a collection of post bopping originals. McLaughlin sets the pace by introducing many of the tunes, like the EP-ish “Desert Chapel” that has Pelt in masterful form, or his mellow teaming with Raymond’s brushes under the horn man’s muted brass on the misty “Signals”. Drums and bass simmer for the mystical pelt on ”The Solar Punks” while the team has fun on the bopper “El Polvo” and gets hip on “Trail Head”. It’s hep to be hip.
