Magnificent long-blown solos from tenorist Stephen Riley  on an album named after a Sonny Rollins tune, and which definitely carries a bit of the Rollins approach in its sound! Yet the album's also got plenty of Riley's strengths in the mix, too  that great raspy sound he can get on the tenor, which also echoes a bit of Ben Webster, but with more contemporary phrasing  matched in the frontline by the trumpet of Joe Magnarelli, who we always love in an open date like this  with just the bass of Jay Anderson and drums of Adam Nussbaum for support. The lack of piano allows for plenty of structural freedom on the tunes and titles include "Oleo", "Minority", "Doxy", "Valse Hot", "Lazy Bird", "On Green Dolphin Street", and "St Thomas".  © 1996-2019, Dusty Groove, Inc. https://www.dustygroove.com/item/928719/Stephen-Riley:Oleo
