Vibes player Steve Nelson records his tribute to the late pianist Mulgrew Miller, with whose band he recorded a couple of albums in the early 90’s. There is much to Nelson’s approach to the vibes that is reminiscent of Bobby Hutcherson. This is most apparent on intricate tunes like ‘For Those Who Do’ and ‘Eastern Joy Dance’. For driving Bop try the Latin influenced ‘Samba D’Blue’ and the stylish ‘Soul Leo’. ‘New Wheels’ and ‘Brothers Under The Sun’ are also fine Jazz workouts. The quartet are never less than superb. Strong straight-ahead Jazz.
