The Five Corners Quintet: Trading Eights
Their debut album—aptly titled Chasin' The Jazz Gone By (2005, reissued by Ricky-Tick Records for its twentieth anniversary)—revisited the golden age of hard bop through an early-aughts dancefloor sensibility.
International tours and a Columbia Records deal helped propel the success of this release, which also featured a guest turn from the legendary Mark Murphy. On "Trading Eights," though, the lean and tightly focused Quintet has all it needs to lock into a laid-back sizzle.
