Dead Center of the Mainstream

Click the play button to listen

For all their excursions into the avant-garde, fusion, post-bop, and other "edgy" forms of jazz, sometimes the boys just want to wallow right in the middle of the stream—the main part of it, you might say. This fortnight's feast includes two instrumental and two vocal albums all centered in the tradition and happy to be there. Mike is unmoved by the rising star this time, but who knows—her next outing may change his mind.
