On this, his fourth effort for the HighNote label, Randy Johnston provides ample evidence of his never ceasing evolution as a musician. He is passionate in his quest for new avenues of expression. It is what has distinguished him as one of the finest members of a truly remarkable generation of jazz guitarists. The band swings and grooves, soars and sings through seven standards and three new R. Johnston originals. From the beautiful ballad, "Nancy With the Laughing Face" to the boogaloo take on the oft-played "Careless Love," Randy Johnston lays down some of his best playing to date. An album for both jazz guitar aficionados and the casual listener as well.
