Tenor saxophonist
Spike Robinson sounds quite comfortable performing his "Blues for Sooz" and seven standards with a pianoless rhythm section. Guitarist
Mundell Lowe, bassist Monty Budwig and drummer
Jake Hanna were all veterans who, like
Spike, knew how to swing hard even at a quiet volume and a relaxed tempo.
Robinson's warm tone sounds quite appealing on such numbers as "Dancing in the Dark," "Yours Is My Heart Alone" and "My Silent Love." Recommended. ~ Scott Yanow
