The secret rhymes conjured by this quartet mostly feature the playing of Troy Roberts. Recorded in New York the deep wood featured on the album cover evokes the ‘reedy’ sound of the tenor sax and is a must for anyone who wants to hear the full range of this instrument.

The most innovative of the eight tracks is the interpretation of Prokofiev’s piano concerto (no2) but the collection is nicely rounded off with the exciting title track. Further there is also a spirited reworking of Freddie Hubbard’s ‘Up Jumped Spring’ to enjoy. Throughout the band offer the listener interesting musical patterns that suggest an on-going and not yet finished conversation between the players.

The sound commands your attention through-out and this most certainly is not background music. This album is quite likely to be mentioned in the end of year lists of the best releases and displays a seasoned saxophonist at his best.
