Vega4@Oldboy: Danke fürs Angebot, aber ich habe dir vertraut und mir die CD schon bestellt! :-)

Klasse! Du wirst das nicht bereuen!

Endlich auch mal ein Review gefunden:

Former BBC Young Musician of the Year finalist Troy Miller is at ease in many settings – he’s toured with fusion celeb Roy Ayers, worked with sax individualists such as Gary Bartz and Soweto Kinch, and studied with US drum virtuoso Ralph Peterson – and this debut album reflects it all. Drummer Miller has drawn on the skills of two Marsalisites, in American trumpeter Marcus Printup and bassist Eric Revis, brief purrings from the Prague Philharmonic’s string section, Kinch’s sax and raps, and the majestic voice of UK singer Eska Mtungwazi – as well as his regular band, including pianist Jason Rebello and tenor saxist Jean Toussaint. Marcus Printup plays two nimble, clean-toned trumpet breaks on the sporadically Miles-like groove of The Promise and the driving swing of Mr RP – the latter followed by a seething piano improvisation from Rebello and a gritty tenor break from Toussaint, over needle-sharp drum precision and unflagging energy from Miller. Soul singer Xantone Blacq adds his delicate upper-range swoops to two tracks: one is accompanied by Miller’s fluent piano-playing, while the other features the latter doubling on Fender Rhodes and drums behind Soweto Kinch’s rap.

It’s slightly irresolutely stretched between American-sounding postbop, sweet-soul, a touch of D’Angelo, and UK urban, but a promising debut none the less.
