By John Gilbert
Pianist Russ Kassoff has respect for the music of Bird / Diz et al and
it shines through his music in ways that capture the essence of true
jazz.
"Look For The Silver Lining" The 'touch' of Russ Kassoff is lovingly
expressed in this time honored tune. His solo is ideation personified
and the ensemble is both tasty and driving in enhancing this song. The
bass solo by Martin Wind cool as a summer breeze. Nice fours by all,
round out this track.
"The Best Thing For You"..Bright is the byword here with nice brushwork
by Tim Horner ..Oblique quotes of Down By The Riverside and Pick
Yourself Up are deftly inserted by Kassoff in his masterful solo.
There are 12 tunes on the album and all are presented in Russ Kassoff's
formidable style. This recording is what jazz should be in all its
glory,. There is no nonsense here just solid musical expressions done
logically with swing as the main component. Kassoff is a seasoned pro
who will delight the 'modern jazz' buffs in a graceful and stylish
manner.
