Whe the New Orleans-based musician leans toward the avant-garde (certainly more so than a Marsalis brothers-related project would imply), he also excels at more straight-ahead pieces, and Batiste's deft balance between the two is well represented on this excellent 10-song set, which, not surprisingly, features saxophonist and producer Branford Marsalis.Editorial ReviewsBatiste's darkly mellow clarinet sound is beautifully displayed throughout but is especially glowing on his own 'Bumps'...JazzTimes 3.5 stars out of 5 -- [Batiste's] modernism is well-grounded in standard form and laced with a sense of the unexpected...Down Beat CONDITIONI MINT E' COME NUOVO
