Tenor saxist Benny Golson was immortalized long ago by "I Remember Clifford," his paean to trumpeter Clifford Brown. Here, however, he elects to pay heed to his colleagues on the tenor sax--and to that end enlists a tenor elder, Harold Ashby, and two of the sharpest young players on the scene, Branford Marsalis and James Carter. Yes, three-plus decades separate Golson and Ashby's birthdates and those of Marsalis and Carter, and yes, this is a sax quartet fronting a rhythm section. And the quartet sounds every bit like a joyful chorus here, from their punchy take on "Lester Leaps In" to the imaginative, high-tone tenor they take up on "My Favorite Things." Probably the finest colors fly on "Lover Come Back to Me," which the group dedicates to Ashby's mentor, Ben Webster. All the smolder the ad hoc sax quartet throws into the mix with Geoff Keezer's fast-thinking piano is kept fiery by everyone's ability to jump sky-high in their note runs. So it is that this CD runs the traps from hard swinging bounce to after-hours sizzle. With all the great assets of an age-old jam session, this CD is also a flash of tenor sax brilliance. --Andrew Bartlett
