Justin Robinson seems to be more of a visionary here than usual – part of a new level of maturation we've seen in his music in more recent years – a move from being an already great saxophonist to being a strong leader and writer as well! The album's way more than the sum of its parts – thanks in part to a wealth of original compositions by Robinson, which propel the whole group forward with a unified spirit – one that often has all members of the quartet contributing equally, instead of just supporting the leader! Justin's tone on alto is still sharp and soulful, but also seems to have more depth than usual – and the rest of the group features Sharp Radway on piano, Ameen Saleem on bass, and Jeremy Bean Clemons on drums. Titles include "Lamentations For R & D", "Love Thy Father", "It Rained All Day In Rio", "Paula", "At First Light", and "Inner Limits". © 1996-2023, Dusty Groove, Inc.
