Personnel: Jimmy Bruno (guitar); Scott Hamilton (tenor saxophone); Craig Thomas (bass); Vince Ector (drums). Recorded live at Birdland, New York, New York on December 15 & 16, 1996. Includes liner notes by Jim Ferguson. This is a particularly strong straightahead jazz set. The hard-swinging guitarist Jimmy Bruno and his trio (bassist Craig Thomas and drummer Victor Ector) first perform a couple of the leader's basic originals and a pair of standards (including Clifford Brown's "Joy Spring"). After Bruno plays an inventive version of "I Can't Give You Anything but Love" unaccompanied, he welcomes tenor-saxophonist Scott Hamilton as the group's guest for the final five numbers. "Lover Man" is taken as a tenor-guitar duet and of the other four standards, "Broadway" and "I Want to Be Happy" are quite heated. Bruno and Hamilton clearly inspire each other, making this a set that fans of both talented players will want. ~ Scott Yanow
