Here’s a swinging team of saxes that know more about hip riffs than James Brown’s Famous Flames. The reed section of Richard Underhill/as-bs, Kelly Jefferson/ts and Matt Lagan/ts create a magma of music for the grooves dug in by “Mike Downes/b and Stich Wynston/dr. Downes and Wynston confidently hold their own, getting funky for the horns on “Nice Signal” and creating a rivulet for the palpable harmonies of “Are You Really Real” , which even feature some jivey rap for extra fun. . The saxes get bluesy and deep as Underhill’s alto sways on “Bottom Dollar” and bold around the horns that punch like Evander Holyfield on “Ride The Wave”. Reed rapture!
