A versatile jazz guitarist originally from Spain, Ximo Tebar is in top form throughout this consistently stimulating set. Dave Samuels, on vibes and marimba, is on seven of the 11 songs and practically steals the show each time he plays, particularly on "Inner Urge" and "My Evidence" (a tribute to Thelonious Monk that is based on "Evidence"). Rob Bargad, particularly when he is playing organ, really gets the music grooving. While there are some electronic interludes for synthesizers (particularly on "Martino"), the results are always creative and unpredictable. Ximo Tebar is generous in allocating solo space but ultimately reclaims the set, contributing six originals and coming up with fresh ideas on "ESP," "Pinocchio" and the closing bop standard "Tricotism." Eclipse rewards repeated listenings.~Scott Yanow
