Owens finds fresh approaches to various flavors of the swing timeline - Art Blakey and the refractions of Buhaina established by Mulgrew Miller and Bobby Watson (each a one-time employer); Tony Williams’ two phases with the Miles Davis Quintet; Ed Thigpen’s crispness with the Oscar Peterson Trio - within a 21st century context. It’s a must-hear.
