Mind Over Matter is a thoroughly impressive debut effort from Mark Shim, suggesting that he's one of the more interesting post-bop saxophonists to emerge in the late '90s. Supported by pianist Geri Allen, guitarist David Fiuczynski, bassist Curtis Lundy and drummers Eric Harland and Ralph Peterson, Shim plays a set of originals punctuated by a cover of Mingus' "Remember Rockefell at Attica" and a Lundy tune. His compositional skills are impressive, especially when his young age (23 years old) is factored into the equation. But what really impresses are Shim's muscular, robust tone and the way he not only holds his own with Allen and Fiucynski, but also makes his unpredictable twists and turns sound natural. It's a first-rate debut from a promising young saxophonist.~Stephen Thomas Erlewine
