Tommy Flanagan - Piano; Eddie Gomez - Bass; Alvin Queen - Drums; Bennie Wallace - Sax (Tenor). Recorded on April 29, 1998 - April 30, 1998, Clinton Recording Studios, New York, NY.

For this mostly relaxed date, tenor saxophonist Bennie Wallace (who plays pretty melodically throughout much of the session) is teamed with veteran pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist Eddie Gomez and drummer Alvin Queen. Wallace does his best to temper some of his wilder interval jumps but it is such an integral part of his style that he does let loose in spots. The rhythm section is tight and tasteful and the quartet explores seven standards, plus an original apiece by Wallace ("Little Surprises") and Flanagan ("Beyond the Bluebird"). Other highlights include Duke Ellington's rarely played "Serenade to Sweden," "Moon Song" and "So in Love." ~Scott Yanow
