Drummer Danny Gottlieb's third CD as a leader is his most straight-ahead and rewarding with the trio. Joined by keyboardist Gil Goldstein, flutist Jeremy Steig, guitarist John Abercrombie, and bassist Chip Jackson, Gottlieb (who takes a supporting role) plays four group originals and an obscurity, plus Lee Morgan's "Melancholee," Wayne Shorter's "Diana," Scott LaFaro's "Gloria's Step," and Ray Charles' spirited "I Believe to My Soul." It is particularly nice to hear Steig in this type of setting again. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide.
