Oh yeah, and Dixon himself does a real nice job riding on top of Rhyne and creates his solos efficiently without resorting to overused phrases. "Shadow And Light" and "Repub" Club" are some fine showcases for his well-developed technique.
It wouldn't be hard to draw a line between between Wes Montgomery and contemporary funk-jazz, but the connection between the two is now much closer. Rob Dixon and Melvin Rhyne successfully bridge the two on Reinvention. Just more proof that there's exciting, fresh takes on old school jazz coming out of Indianapolis these days. It's a tradition started by Montgomery himself.
Reinvention went on sale June 25. If you're looking a good groover with some solid playing all around, this one's a good choice.
