19-year old bassist
Christian Minh Doky's debut recording as a leader features him sounding at his best when accompanying the other musicians although his solos do tend to be a bit long at times. Actually tenor-saxophonist
Larry Schneider is the star of the date, taking some of his finest improvisations on record. Pianist
Thomas Clausen is also excellent while drummer
Ben Perowsky keeps the music moving. The quartet performs three of
Christian Minh Doky's originals (a couple of which hint at Danish folk songs), a number from his older brother pianist
Niels Lan Doky, "Alone Together" and "When You Wish Upon A Star." This is a fine start to
Christian Minh Doky's solo career.
