Music review excerpt: (by World renoun writer, all about the music) - "Session remains a dominant soloist, blessed with vivid musical imagination, A- Line technique, and an apparent passion to construct heart stopping thrill rides on the saxophone. Firmly rooted in classic Blue Note, the sextet's front line played crisp harmonized arrangements based in blues and uptown bebop. A generous leader, he seems to appreciate and enthuse over his bandmates' solos as much as his own." - Rex Butters
Presenter: (In-Kind)
