Bass – Ira Coleman; Drums – Carl Allen; Flute, Alto Saxophone, Soprano Saxophone – Vincent Herring; Piano – Donald Brown; Trumpet – Freddie Hubbard (tracks: 1, 9), Roy Hargrove. Recorded 6 and 7 December 1989 at A&R Studio, New York
The music on this CD is very much in the Young Lions/modern hard bop vein. In this 1989 session, drummer Carl Allen leads a fairly young all-star group -- comprised of trumpeter Roy Hargrove, Vincent Herring on alto, soprano, and flute, pianist Donald Brown, and bassist Ira Coleman -- through five originals by bandmembers and five standards. Veteran trumpeter Freddie Hubbard sits in on "Piccadilly Square" (a rare chance for one to hear both Hubbard and Hargrove soloing on the same number) and "In the Still of the Night." Few surprises occur, but the musicians (particularly Herring) play up to expectations and fans of hard bop will enjoy this. ~Scott Yanow
