Bassist Bill Crow is better known for his work as a sideman than a leader, but his second recording for Venus confirms the old adage "better late than never." Joined by tenor saxophonist Carmen Leggio, guitarist Joe Cohn and drummer David Jones, Crow leads his quartet through eight pieces that include standards, classic jazz compositions and a few originals. The upbeat recording of Oscar Pettiford's "Bohemia After Dark" has great solos from each band member. Crow's arrangement of "'Round Midnight" is played at a brisker tempo than usual with a bossa nova rhythm, while Leggio's smooth tenor sax swings like crazy in Lester Young's "Tickletoe."
