‘Reach’ is pianist Christian Sands’ debut album and was co-produced by label-mate Christian McBride. The pacey ‘Armando’s Song’ is a tribute to Sands’ hero Chick Corea, the languid take on Bill Withers’ ‘Use Me’ features McBride’s bass while the rapid fire Latin dancer ‘Oyeme!’ features yet another Christian, this time senor Rivera. There’s an elegance about the sound here – well crafted jazz made with a deep knowledge of those who came before: the sparkling ‘Song Of The Rainbow People’ has cascades of sound, ‘Pointing West’ goes into modal territory while ‘Freefall’ is more avant garde. ‘Reaching For The Sun’ is another highlight with a delicate bossa creating a groove while ‘Gangstalude’ struts with a funky beat.
