Yasushi’s playing knocks me out every time and I’m absolutely loving this gig with Mr Tabackin! Lew brings the whole history of jazz tenor together in one highly personal package. I especially love the way he slips and slides with the time. It’s kinda similar to Joe Henderson in the way that he’ll float over the time but then, in an instant, dig in and groove like a mofo. So much fun to go on these adventures with him!
GREAT swinging version of OP’s Tricotism. Lou Tabakin has got his Don Byas sound and attack down, and sounds great. Emmet in stupendous form, as usual. Please! Keep on swinging!!!
