Marlon Jordan, just 19 at the time of this CD, displays a lot of 1965 Miles Davis in his style. His tenor-saxophonist Tim Warfield is most influenced by John Coltrane and Wayne Shorter, the original compositions would not be out-of-place on a vintage Blue Note album and the young rhythm section (pianist Peter Martin, bassist Tarus Mateen and drummer Troy Davis) sounds straight out of the mid-1960's, which is around the time period that they were born. As with most jazz musicians fortunate enough to be documented at an early age, the musicians let their influences show. The music is enjoyable enough with pianist Martin (who ranges from McCoy Tyner to Herbie Hancock and Monk) taking solo honors. Marlon Jordan shows obvious talent and potential but at this early point in his career he was emulating Miles Davis ("Inside The Harem" sounds straight from Sketches Of Spain) and Wynton Marsalis ("In A Mellotone" could pass as a dead ringer) much too closely.
