This quartet of virtuosos brings together a wealth of talent and experience, creating a sound that is both timeless and innovative.

From the moment the album kicks off with the energetic opener, "Rhythm-a-ning", it's clear that these musicians are on top form. Redman's soaring saxophone leads the charge, while Mehldau's intricate piano work weaves its way through McBride's expert bass lines and Blade's dynamic drumming. The chemistry between these four players is palpable, as they effortlessly navigate complex melodies and rhythms with a sense of ease and spontaneity.

Tracks like "Lonely Woman" and "What Is This Thing Called Love?" showcase the group's versatility, as they seamlessly shift between hard-hitting grooves, soulful ballads, and intricate improvisations.
