Album Description

Presents Mueller's best contemporary jazz, funk and fusion reinterpretations the greatest jazz standards. "Inventive, energetic, joyous virtuosity elevates each track. Paul Nelson’s electric guitar sizzles. Woody Mankowski’s saxophone soars. Drumming is stellar. Fresh, clean, crisp. You will not view these tunes the same after hearing Mueller’s thoughtfully crafted takes." - Jazziz magazine. "If you’re a fan of the likes of Weather Report and Return to Forever, keyboardist and arranger Tobin Mueller is going to be your buddy. Volume 2 is hip, swinging fusion, lit up, big and bold. Goes beyond Head Hunting: a world of kaleidoscopic covers. Highly recommended.” - George W. Harris, Jazz Weekly
