This rightfully heralded 22-year-old musical prodigy brings all his intuition along with taste on his first album for the Concord label. The group, consisting of Eigsti and his longtime friend Lage coupled with the veterans McBride and Nash, can maneuver and shift between true swing and subdued modernity. Eigsti’s gift for understatement shows itself in the melody, but he pulls out all the stops with his improvisation, building each bright phrase upon the next with class and elegance.
