About

For Ralph Bowen's fourth date as a leader for Criss Cross, he returns to the organ combo format that made 2002's 'Soul Proprietor' a significant departure and valuable addition to the tenor man's precious catalogue. Returning from that session are trumpeter and Criss Cross regular John Swana, organist Sam Yahel and guitar man Peter Bernstein, with drummer Dana Hall rounding out the ensemble. Bowen's muse is an advanced take on the freewheeling implications of John Coltrane's pioneering vernacular. As such, he tackles the framework of the organ goup with a fresh outlook that has more to do with the late 60s work of LarryYoung than the grits and gravy approach of Jimmy Smith. In addition to four of his own originals, Bowen puts a new spin on Woody Shaw's "Rahsaan's Run", Joe Henderson's "Step Lightly" and U2's "Drowning Man".
