Guitarist Joshua Breakstone's finds him avoiding using the big names of the past and instead improvising in a pianoless trio with bassist Dennis Irwin and drummer Kenny Washington. Breakstone, whose musical path has been consistent since his early days, sticks to bop on a program including two originals, a few standards, and songs by Bud Powell and Thelonious Monk (he takes "Monk's Mood" unaccompanied). All of Joshua Breakstone's recordings thus far are worth getting by straight-ahead jazz fans. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi
