That one has never quite grabbed me like Birth and Rebirth. ... What are your impressions?

Maybe it's time to pull it from the shelf & give it another listen.   

 

I know this is wrong, but I like it more.

I think that Roach is more in the background, so Braxton gets free-er reign. I like his melodic ideas, which are unusually simple for him.

Birth and Rebirth never really took for me - to my ears Braxton isn't quite up to what Roach is doing.

I am currently on this one:

Mentioned recently on this board.

IMO, there's no such thing as "wrong" when it comes to musical preferences.  

I'll give One In Two - Two In One another listen.

Jordi goes legit? Charts by Alan Broadbent, wonderful charts.

Totally CapitolJazzy, and in a better way than that often means. Ralph Carmichael is trying to keep things vaguely Kenton-ish and Raney pushes back in a way that gives the whole thing a bit of...character.
