Mission Statement

CD (Item 635591) Sunnyside, 2009 — Condition: Used
Out Of Stock

CD

✈
Incredible work from saxophonist Jimmy Greene – a really under-discovered talent, but one who burst forth here with a wealth of original compositions, and a sharp-edged sound that's completely brilliant! Greene's power here reminds us a lot of Wayne Shorter at his early best – straight and soulful, but always with an undercurrent of modern – a knowledge of boundaries, and a willingness to push them – yet never too far to loose his sense of swing! The rhythm section helps a lot towards that end – a trio that features Xavier Davis on piano and Fender Rhodes, Reuben Rodgers on bass, and Eric Harland on drums – and the set also features lots of warm guitar lines from Lage Lund, who further deepens the sound. Stefon Harris plays vibes on one track – and titles are almost all original numbers, and include "Mr Octopus", "Fathers & Sons", "Mission Statement", "Ana Grace", "Yeah You Right", "In Nelba's Eyes", and "Love In Action".  © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Additional Marks & Notes

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.


Used CD Grade

We only use the grade "Used CD" for non-new CDs. This all-encompassing grade was chosen it because we only buy and offer used CDs in the best possible condition.

When you purchase a used CD you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks, the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves), and the booklet to be in good shape. Used CDs may show some signs of use, but if there are significant details or defects we will describe the item's condition (just like we do with LPs), so look for notes on cutout marks, stickers, promo stamps or other details before ordering.

All of our used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. After you receive a used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly. If it does not, you can request a return for a full refund.
