    Valoración: VERY GOOD

A new piece of work of former BB King’s orchestra musical director and trumpet player, Calvin Owens On a short period of time Calvin has published a bunch of records under his own name All them follow a very personal line that draws together different musical styles from blues to jazz, latin music, funky, soul or r&b The guest musicians who normally play with him are always exceptional artists This time you will find such great names like William Folder, Gloria Edwards, Trudy Lynn or Bert Wills among others The cd opens with Hucklebuck, an amazing instrumental song where Owens pays homage to the legendary orchestra he used to regularly play with at Houston ‘Eldorado Ballroom’ I do not want to finish the review without pointing out it is a good produced album with excellent horn and string arrangements As usual Calvin has done an ambitious, very personal and completely effective piece or work
