* This new CD picks up where Letter to Herbie left off, demonstrating Beasley"s growth as a composer (all but three selections), bandleader, and arranger. The chemistry among the players is evident on this excellent disc. "Reflects a variety of generational influences, incorporating the emphatic choral clusters of Herbie Hancock, the rhythmic quirkiness of Monk, and the lush intelligence of Art Tatum into a highly refined personal voice." -- Los Angeles Times
