Strong and ferocious, while perfectly precise Friday May 8, 2009 at 11:30 ( ok a little later). And a Rhythm-a-ning showcase requiring firm brackets inside smooth swing (steadily shepherding several brilliant guest turns... on piano and horn), and solid silence on Monk's syncopation. Sweet. Thank you for your hard work and beautiful skill, Mr. Faulkner. http://www.myspace.com/i8emallup2.
