Night in Tunisia is the second import CD by the Quintet, a group of thirty-something jazz musicians on the rise with trumpeter Ryan Kisor getting top billing, plus veteran drummer Victor Lewis. Also on hand are tenor saxophonist Grant Stewart, pianist Sam Yahel (who, since this 2004 session, has been better known for his work on organ), and bassist James Genus. A quick glance at the play list indicates this group is focused on bop and hard bop; there are no originals or groundbreaking arrangements, just sincere performances of material that will be familiar to bop fans. Kisor and Stewart take solo honors for the session, though the choice of one or two obscure compositions from the bop era might have added a little more spice to the date. ~Ken Dryden
