Too many riches! There's a boatload of great music here, but it will take some time to get through. Most of it will end up reviewed in Progression Magazine, but till then I'll keep updating here. Food's "Quiet Inlet" is great. A quartet with saxophone along with drums, trumpet, and guitar, where the latter three are also all credited with electronics. Outre and engaging. So much more to get through from A (Arild Anderson's box set of early quartets) to T (the always-unpredictable Steve Tibbets), with stops in between for Keith Jarrett (please, make him stop moaning) and former Peter Gabriel drummer Manu Katché's latest.
Meantime, the new David Benoit, Earthglow, offers pleasant ear candy as always, while Arturo Sandoval's A Time for Love is perhaps his most mellow offering ever. Lots of flugelhorn and muted trumpet, all in good taste, but curiously subdued. Not disappointing, because it's fine work, just not full-throttle as we're more used to.
