This is pure harmonic and melodic joy. And every great album tells a compelling story. This one is no different. I love the walking meter shifts (illusory) in the first track. Reminds me of some of Branford Marsalis’ earlier work with Milt Hinton, but with added modern harmonic work- so the homework to achieve this kind of sound... it’s been done. and Barry is doin’ it to death. ❤️
