This SteepleChase CD, taken from a live concert from the Montmartre Jazzhus in Copenhagen, features trumpeter Kenny Dorham, flugelhornist Allan Botschinsky, pianist Tete Montoliu, bassist Niels Pedersen (then only 17) and drummer Alex Riel stretching out on four standards and Dorham's "Short Story." Dorham (featured on "Manha De Carnival") and Botschinsky (who is showcased on "The Touch of Your Lips") display complementary styles but are not shy to occasionally play fiery phrases. However Montoliu (in exciting form) often steals the show during the relaxed set.~ Scott Yanow
