With
Wycliffe Gordon (trombone),
Marcus Printup (trumpet),
Victor Goines (tenor & soprano sax, clarinet),
Eric Reed (piano),
Reginald Veal (bass) and

Augmenting a strong roots-to-modern jazz sextet with a gospel choir from Georgia, his home state, Gordon presents a joyful noise, referencing the vocabularies of Armstrong, Ellington and Jelly Roll Morton with an eye keenly honed in on the present day.
