Another Tuesday 25 post, albums from 25 years ago, 1998.
Allmusic: “Best known as a superior and advanced cool-toned trumpeter, Tom Harrell shows throughout this consistently brilliant set that he has also developed into an excellent composer and a particularly talented arranger… Collaborators include clarinetist Greg Tardy, acoustic guitarist Romero Lumbambo, tenors Dewey Redman and David Sanchez, pianist Danilo Perez, electric guitarist Mike Stern, and violinist Regina Carter, among others… Overall, this is Tom Harrell's most significant release as a leader to date and arguably one of the finest jazz records released in 1998.”
This was Tom’s ~18th album out of ~35, since 1976. His latest album is 2020s Oak Tree. He played on Wayne Escoffery's Like Minds posted upthread, with a video of Tom's 2008 quintet.
