Gregory Hutchinson - Kind of Now - the Pulse of Miles Davis - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Gregory Hutchinson's InchKind of Now - The Pulse of Miles DavisInch is a fascinating and highly rewarding album that breathes new life into some of the immortal classics from Miles Davis' repertoire, such as Charlie Parker's InchAh-Leu-ChaInch or Miles' own InchSeven Steps to HeavenInch, discounting the obvious while closing in on the deep cuts. The leader's excellent drum interludes tie this hour-long program tightly together, adding a futuristic newness that's all in Hutch's time. The overall quality and density of InchKind of NowInch has everything to do with the musicians involved, a great group of young legends and lions carefully selected by the leader, just the way Miles used to do Ambrose Akinmusire (trumpet), Ron Blake (tenor saxophone, bass clarinet), Jakob Bro (guitar), Emmanuel Michael (guitar), Gerald Clayton (piano) Joe Sanders (double bass).
