Terrific stuff from Chicago's Herculaneum – a fresh, modern take on postbop and 60s avant garde jazz that's as addictive as anything the group has done to date – possibly their best yet! The group is a sextet with four horns, providing a really energetic front – with parts that give way to looser, improvistational moments, before rolling back into a tighter groove. The compositions are split between drummer and vibes player Dylan Ryan and alto sax player David McConnell – and the group includes tenor sax and flute player Nate Lepine, Nick Broste on trombone, Patrick Newbury on trumpet & flugal horn, Greg Danek on bass, plus guitarist John Beard on "Over Easy". Includes "Temporary Orca", "Dynasty", "Puerto Jiminez", "Meridian", "Looking At Wind", "Mad Anthony" and "Black Cloud". (Includes a code for digital download of the album.)  - Dusty Groove America, Inc.
