On this album Sarah Hanahan shows the influence of her alma mater, as the alto saxist has a strong Jackie McLean feel she must have received at the JM Institute of Jazz in Hartford. The bright, bold and impassioned tone cries out on John Coltrane’s rubato’s “Welcome” while her own “Resonance” has pianist Marc Cary in a Tyner mood along with Nat Reeves/b and Jeff ’Tain” Watts with Reeves work guides the way through “A House Is Not A Home. With percussionist Bobby Aliende, the band sizzles through her “Nato” and Latinized “Honey” while “We Bop!” cruises in overdrive. Let freedom ring!
