Osby expanding his sound as ever – adding in a string
quartet to a jazz recording performed on alto and soprano sax, in a
quartet with Jason Moran on piano, Scott Colley on bass, and Marlon Browden on drums and percussion. The
quartet are used in various interesting ways in kind of a post
Kronos sort of groove – taking up a lot of the rhythm parts as well as filling in the tracks with washes of sound and color, but never dominating the jazz group that is at the core. Titles include "Northbound", "One Room", "Repay In Kind", "3 For Civility", "The Keep", "M", and "Golden Sunset".
