Intellect and feeling stand in expressive balance with Hill's concepts of form, melody and rhythmic hooks on this third album in the series. He's absorbed the lessons of his heroes but writes from his own heart and soul. Whitaker, from Detroit and again firmly entrenched in the rich Michigan jazz scene, continues to perform at the highest levels. His long-standing quintet of well acknowledged masters - pianist Bruce Barth, Terell Stafford on trumpet, Tim Warfield on sax, and drummer Dana Hall - imbue the music with stellar soloing, supple textures, exciting dynamics, and a never-ending swing.\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eVocalist\/lyricist Rockelle Fortin again adds her lyrics and voice on four songs, including the high-octane opener, 'Betty's Tune.'\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e'The variety is broad and the band itself can blow up a storm!' - Dave Rogers, WTJU.\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e'Anchoring the music's phases and moods, Whitaker is a volcanic boulder...' - City Pulse\u003cp\u003eBetty's Tune\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePuppets\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMinorabilia\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterlude\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSunday Afternoon\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Jazzdiddy Waltz\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eS'Cool Days\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlues for Gregg\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFan-O-Gram\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo the Well\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOasis\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54421404647809,"sku":"1882859","price":16.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/0805558286025.jpg?v=1750649493","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1882859","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
