Drummer Jimmy Cobb was the earliest of the Four Generations of Miles on Chesky's 2002 quartet recording, later ones being George Coleman, Mike Stern and Ron Carter. This time, on a bunch of tasteful but never flaccid standards, it's a trio of great elder statesmen plus the still-youthful Roy Hargrove on trumpet. If not exactly tentative, he sounds almost deferential at times, his tone a little sour too, against the relaxed cohesion of the others. Pianist Ronnie Mathews is outstanding, especially on 'Ruby My Dear'. Sound is clean, even a tad dry by Chesky standards. A touch of surround does it good.
