They're not kidding with the title on this one – as Warren
Wolf is a great talent on the vibes, and an artist that we're really beginning to keep an eye on!
Wolf's sound is a combination of angular and soulful – so that at one moment he's hitting the vibes with the modern changes of Steve Nelson, but at others he's sweetening things up with some of the warmer touches that Bobby Hutcherson brought to his work in later years. These qualities are brought out even more strongly by the album's well-tuned group that features Mulgrew Miller on piano, Vincente Archer on bass, and Kendrick Scott on drums – especially on the album's most modal numbers. Titles include "Why Is There A Dolphin On Green Street", "
Howling
Wolf", "Lake Nerraw Flow", "Chan's Song", "Overjoyed", and "I Want More".
