The Yellowjackets: Time Squared
Equal in all parts, the band is a groove machine. Bob Mintzer is the heir to Eric Dolphy’s bass clarinet crown, shoehorning this stubborn instrument into a contemporary setting (hear "Smithtown"). Ferrante’s acoustic piano playing is in apparent high gear with great solos on "Smithtown", "Go Go," and "V." Haslip and Baylor are outstanding here as always.
I suspect that I will forever remain a stick-in-the-mud-acoustic-jazz-snob. I am glad, however, that there is music like this to sneak up on me.
