Nine years after his last SteepleChase set, the underrated trumpeter
Idrees Sulieman reunited with
Per Goldschmidt (who doubles on tenor and baritone) and pianist
Horace Parlan for another fine straight-ahead date. With bassist
Mads Vinding and drummer
Billy Hart completing the quintet, the talented players stretch out on "Groovin' High," a couple of obscurities and three group originals. Five days short of his 62nd birthday,
Idrees Sulieman was still in fine form for this record.
