No need to hold 'em here as tenorist Stephen Riley is warmly fluid, right out of the gate working in a loose trio formation that gives him a huge amount of space to express himself! Riley's got this crispy tone, but one that's also down to earth able to hit modern moments, yet never too in love with itself to forget to swing which Stephen does nicely in the company of Jay Anderson on bass and Adam Nussbaum on drums! There's a depth of tenor feeling that goes back to the early modern innovators but the setting is also hipper than a straighter swing date, too and without the piano, Riley really opens up tunes that include "Woody N You", "Hold Em Joe", "I Never Knew", "The Song Is You", "You've Changed", and "Three Little Words".  © 1996-2019, Dusty Groove, Inc. https://www.dustygroove.com/item/897027/Stephen-Riley:Hold-Em-Joe
