Album review: Trumpet-organ-guitar-drums quartets are not too common, but after
hearing this excellent CD, one wonders why. Kevin Dean is a superior hard bop
trumpeter with an appealing sound and a melodic and swinging style. Organist
Hank Marr has built his approach out of that of Jimmy Smith, guitarist Greg Clayton
is excellent whether soloing or playing rhythm, and drummer Jim Rupp is solid in
support. The musicians groove together quite well on a variety of standards
(including "How Deep Is the Ocean," "Ill Wind," and an abstract jam on "You Are
My Sunshine") and originals, with "Retrounez S.V.P." being a jam over the chord
changes of "Lover Come Back to Me." The result is an infectious and swinging set.
