I'm not sure if this is a new release or what, I just downloaded it and it is a real joy to listen to. Ballard and Grenadier are more up front in the mix than in the previous two releases that I have from this trio so that was a treat.



I got this one due to Ben Allison's participation and I am quite enjoying it.



This one was due to Jeb Bishop, I've not been disappointed.
