Producer: Willie Jones III
Joining producer Willie Jones III again for his sophomore album, drummer Brandon Sanders delivers an understatedly elegant and beautifully balanced jazz record, opening with delicate brushwork in dedication to his grandmother, “Miss Ernestine.”
Charlie Parker’s “Moose The Mooche” showcases fabulous unison and great ride cymbal and hi-hat work. Other renditions include Duke Ellington (“Prelude To A Kiss”) and Thelonious Monk (“Four In One”) pieces.
