I enjoy Hendelman. I've seen him live a few times with Jeff Hamilton and it's always good.

Good but not great, and one of those things that stands better for so being. Harold Land & Ira Sullivan both make some pretty arresting contributions along the way.

As for Red, his solo chops were still recovering, but his comp, his chords, his voicings...rich. He's in there all the way.
