You’ve got some real all star vets here, and it shows with the ease that these
guys can swing and bear down. Stewart and Archer dig like members of a chain
gang for Wilkins’ sweet soprano on “Mynah” and they simmer on “The Eleventh
Hour” as Evans goes Hancockian on the frisky and wild “The Eleventh
Hour”. Wilkins gives a gorgeous intro to the angular modal “Levels” with nimble
ivories abounding, while Evans is genteel as he sashays into the lyrical
“Dave”. Evans throws chords to Wilkins like red meat to a ravenous lion on the
bluesy “Momma Loves” and the team gives a salute to vintage Blue Note sounds on
the upbeat “Libra” while the whole team is dressed to the nines on the classy “
The Poor Fisherman”. Timeless treasures, and anything with Stewart as the
anchor is worth keeping in your catalogue.
