Description:
Hi Fi opens with an "Explosion." Well, it's the tune's title, but there is remarkable energy here, and throughout this recording of hard bop realities. There's a relentlessness of purpose to this youthful band, an explosiveness, meshing with a strong group identity borne of a great deal of well spent time together. Formed in New York, Hi Fi features the results of many long nights the quartet spent in the clubs honing arrangements of classic tunes by Gil Evans & Dizzy Gillespie, and originals in the spirit of the hard bop bands of the '50's and '60's. CD OF THE WEEK JazzReview.com. "RadioAction shows considerable promise, both collective and individual." Cadence Magazine. Originally released in 1998.
