Peter Zak's fourth release for Steeplechase finds him returning to a trio, with his regular bassist Paul Gill and Quincy Davis taking over on drums. Zak covers a number of jazz styles during this wide-ranging session. His buoyant, swinging treatment of Billy Strayhorn's lesser known "All Day Long" and lyrical setting of Eubie Blake's "Memories of You" have great appeal. Gill is featured extensively in the opening to Charlie Parker's "Perhaps," accompanied sparsely by Davis' brushes with minimal backing by the leader until he takes over. The trio devours Jackie McLean's intense hard bop vehicle "Minor Apprehension," showcasing Davis extensively early on. Harold Land's "Poor People's March" is another lost gem polished by the trio, a driving post-bop vehicle. Zak dives head first into Herbie Hancock's intriguing, constantly evolving "King Cobra." The pianist's compositions are just as strong. "Horace's Dream" quickly reveals its inspiration with the catchy rhythm favored by Horace Silver. The brisk bossa nova "Propinquity" and the melodic"Shala" (the latter introduced with a bit of free improvisation) are also signs of Peter Zak's gifts as a composer. ~ Ken Dryden, Rovi
