They've got that glowing ember slow-burn, the rumbling growl, growing
from deep in their horns and the attitude of a New York taxi driver
at rush hour. Insistent, driving energetic jazz, the Alan Jones Sextet
launches kinetic originals, just reigned in from the edge of distress
back to back with taffy-like, smoky, back-alley ballads. With a pleasant,
teasing, delicious amount of eccentricity and mischief, their sly
style does wonders for the saturated ear. This is jazz with far more
personality and emotional color than we deserve.
