Brian Landrus: Just When You Think You Know
Nel quintetto che lo affianca, il chitarrista Dave Stryker, il bassista Lonnie Plaxico e il batterista Rudy Royston sono collaboratori di lunga data mentre il pianista Zaccai Curtis è un vecchio compagno di studi al New England Conservatory che incide con lui per la prima volta.
La musica è melodicamente fresca e timbricamente variopinta. Tutto scorre con fragranza e leggerezza, sia nelle melodie di base che negli interventi dei solisti. Tra i momenti più fantasiosi ricordiamo l'estroverso "All in Time," il lento e rarefatto "El Perro Sigma" con Landrus al flauto basso e all'opposto il ritmicamente insinuante "Something Special," con un bell'assolo di Stryker. Un altro brano incisivo è "Paroxysm," collocato nel finale.
