New York's ace trumpeter Joe "Mags" Magnarelli's third outing on SteepleChase is condensed to a quartet format with trumpet as the sole frontline giving the leader new dimension and depth to define his voice.His previous release (SCCD 31939 New York-Osaka Junction) received enthused remarks " he is particularly outstanding, demonstrating a brilliant clarity that could be called the height of sophistication." (Catfish-Records, Japan) and "Magnarelli has always been a jazzman-of-all-work, good in small groups like this one and great at starring in big bands and he's on fire here" (JazzWise-Peter Vacher UK)
