Classic sounding hard bop jazz a la Horace Silver and The Jazz Messengers is delivered by tenor saxist Elias Haslanger with trumpeter Mike Sailors mixing and matching with Andy Langham-Eddy Hobizal-Ross Margitza/p, Ryan Hagler/b and Daniel Dufour/dr. The catchy themes such as “One Hand Clap” and “For The Moment” have a Blue Note stamp to the feel, with the team bopping the blues on “History Book”. Sailors has a warm Kenny Dorham feel to the horn, crisp on the kinetic “Top Dog” and soft when muted during “For Nicole”. Haslanger’s tenor is filled with fire, swaggering for “ That One Time” and glowing with Langham on the Latin lover of ”El Marinero”. Straight, no chaser.
