As with nearly all of saxophonist Jon Irabagon's music, the matter for debate is whether the listener needs to be as caffeinated as the musician. His brand of performance, going back two decades, has been one of constant motion and a bottomless cup of ideas. We heard this in Irabagon's contribution to the band Mostly Other People Do The Killing, his I Don't Hear Nothin' but the Blues series, and his collaboration with Joe Fonda in Barry Altschul's 3Dom Factor. With Recharge The Blade, Irabagon completes his Outright! trilogy which he began with his Ouright!, as the first disc in the set, and his first outing on Innova Recordings in 2008. - Mark Corroto (All About Jazz)
