Pete Mills, a tenor saxophonist inspired by his mentor Walt Weiskopf, is an excellent player influenced by but not derivative of John Coltrane.

The program has plenty of variety in moods and grooves, and Mills fares quite well in every setting of this excellent modern jazz set. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi
