Review

''The sax man realized his dream of playing with one of the bass greats that had a 360 degree affection for all music in 2007. Before he could book the follow up, Dennis Irwin died of cancer. This live in the studio set captures the spontaneity a real pro would want to have delivered on one of his last dates. A straight up jazzbo groover, the tunes are classics done right throughout.''
