Personnel: Alvin Queen (drums, drum); Peter Bernstein (guitar); Mike LeDonne (Hammond b-3 organ); Elias Bailey (bass instrument); Neil Clarke (congas, conga drum, percussion). Recording information: Muzic Complex Studio, Dobbs Ferry, NY (03/25/2008/03/26/2008). Alvin Queen's longtime European expatriate status has apparently ended, as this recording for the veteran drummer was done in New York City with younger musicians who admire his veteran presence and solid mainstream jazz credentials. Several cuts hearken back to modified Jimmy Smith style organ combos, while others have a feel stemming from Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, and some get down and dirty with the original funk of those like Horace Silver. Organist Mike LeDonne shines brightly as the glue on this session, with guitarist Peter Bernstein right by his side, while trumpeter Terell Stafford and alto saxophonist Jesse Davis prove a fine tandem that front the music in a faithful, straight-ahead, no-nonsense fashion.
