by Scott YanowUnlike on his previous Old Bottles, New Wine recording, trombonist Ray Anderson's high-note technique gets the better of him on this set. He often comes across as a one-line Las Vegas comedian who constantly exclaims, "Look how high I can play!" Whether it be a rather absurd version of "Mona Lisa" or a potentially sensitive ballad such as "A Flower Is a Lonesome Thing," the results are consistently silly if colorful. Even with a supporting cast that includes guitarist John Scofield and pianist Anthony Davis, this has to be considered one of Anderson's lesser efforts.
