NEW HIGH

Coryell and his young band perform another set of standards. The good thing about the album is that the sound is varied as we can hear stripped down acoustic guitar, trumpet with piano and vibraphone at its full strength, or jazz quartet without bras instruments. The mood is relaxed and playful. "Bags' groove" gives space for each from the band members to shine through so it's really a band effort. On other tracks, it's mainly the lead by guitar and piano. "Old folks" is a nostalgic duet between the trumpet and guitar, while "New High" has traces of fusion or Miles Davis' late 60's era.
