For this somewhat adventurous but still mostly straight-ahead date, trumpeter Wallace Roney explores three of his originals (including "For Duke," which is slightly reminiscent of "Upper Manhattan Medical Group"), two by drummer and underrated composer Cindy Blackman, and one by bassist Ron Carter. Roney, Blackman and Carter are joined by pianist Mulgrew Miller, tenor saxophonist Gary Thomas and altoist Kenny Garrett (quite an all-star group), and the music is as strong as one would expect, reflecting Roney's long stint with the Tony Williams Quintet. ~ Scott Yanow  http://www.allmusic.com/album/intuition-mw0000652207

Personnel: Wallace Roney (trumpet), Kenny Garrett (alto saxophone), Gary Thomas (tenor saxophone), Mulgrew Miller (piano), Ron Carter (bass), Cindy Blackman (drums).
