Rob Reddy: Citizen Quintet
Lo compongono dieci brani tutti a firma del leader, informati sin dall'inizio da una bella verve, collettiva e individuale, da un clima teso e dinamico (a volte, come in segmenti di "Duck Duck Goose" e "Without a Paddle," persino un po' troppo saturo) che non manca tuttavia di recuperare periodici ripiegamenti, come accade nell'ampio "Time Smells Good" o nella prima parte di "Redemptive Grace," assorta e concentrata, prima di un'esplosione improvvisa che incammina la musica lungo itinerari di neanche troppo vago umore mingusiano.
In definitiva un album di sicuro spessore, che non stanca all'ascolto ma nel contempo sa abilmente eludere le risacche dell'ovvietà e della prevedibilità.
