Pianist Rob Schneiderman and a top-notch sextet (with trumpeter Brian Lynch, Ralph Moore on tenor, baritonist Gary Smulyan, bassist Todd Coolman and drummer Jeff Hirshfield) perform seven of the leader's swinging but unpredictable originals and two standards ("Blue Moon" and "There's a Small Hotel").
