Playing flute, soprano and alto sax, Shawn Maxwell plays deep and soulful pulses with his team of Michael Barton/eb, Collin Clauson/key-wur and Greg Essig/dr on this collection of originals. The album alternates between concise funky jams like “Hickory Street” and “Herald’s News” and more drawn out ideas, as he agonizes on the soprano on “Fries or Tings in the Back” and gracefully bops on “ Jerry”, digging in deepest on “Ghost Mall on Jefferson”. Snapshots of swinging souls.
