Pianist Steve Million leads a post bop team of Jim Gailloreto/ts-fl, John Sims/b, Juan Pastor/dr and vocalist Sarah Marie Young through a collection of thoughtful originals. Million shows his stride and bop dna on the fun and flexible “Heavens to Monkitroid” with Young as sweet as all get out. Gailloreto’s tenor is rich on “Mis’ry Waltz’ and is a cool ride on the relaxed “The Way Home” with his flute teamed well with Young and Sims’ strums on the high ranging “Cold Wind”. The team digs in hard on “Missing Page” and is bouncy on the kinetic “Nika’s Changes”. Strong and flexible.
