A relaxed session firmly rooted in the old freewheeling Prestige "leaderless" albums of the late 1950s and early '60s. Here John Hicks, bassist George Mraz and drummer Idris Muhammad join forces with saxophonist Eric Alexander on a brace of classic tunes that deserve a wider hearing. On "Little Melonae" and "Straight Street," Alexander and Hicks' trio are joined by trumpeter Jim Rotondi. On Mal Waldron's "Fire Waltz" Alexander is replaced with vibraphonist Joe Locke. Other highlights of this inspired session include "Theme for Ernie," Monk's "Light Blue," "My Conception," Miles Davis' "Four" and Sonny Rollins' title track. ~Cub Koda
