On drummer/composer Ralph Peterson's debut, he returns to the two-horns & rhythm format with which he kicked off his recording career, deploying an approach that blends the drive of Art Blakey with the edginess of Miles Davis. Joined by an ensemble of youngsters (Jeremy Pelt, Jimmy Greene, Orrin Evans & Eric Revis) whose ability to dip into the tradition & move forward equips them to navigate the primal complexities of Peterson's sonic landscape, Peterson offers his swingingest date in years.
