On this recording, jazz saxophonist Wayne Escoffery presents this great quartet on a number of original pieces, a standard and an original piece by the ensemble's brilliant drummer, Ralph Peterson, who Escoffery has worked alongside since Escoffery's arrival in New York in 2000. The rest of the band is equally pedigreed. Pianist David Kikoski has been a regular collaborator in the Mingus Big Band and with Eddie Henderson, and bassist Ugonna Okegwo has been driving the rhythm section of Tom Harrell's ensemble for the entirety of Escoffery's tenure. Escoffery's quartet is augmented by the percussion of Jaquelene Acevedo on a number of pieces.

Personnel:  Wayne Escoffery - tenor saxophone;  David Kikoski - piano;  Ugonna Okegwo - bass;  Ralph Peterson, Jr. - drums;  Jeremy Pelt - trumpet;  Kush Abadey - drums;  Jacquelene Acevedo - percussion
