Grabowsky’s productive winning streak continues, this time in the company of Bernie McGann and Sydney’s – nay, one of the most accomplished saxophonists. With Philip Rex and Simon Barker’s sublime support, Grabowsky and McGann traverse, even caress, eleven standards with complete mastery. This is luscious, but full of substance…if it was an ice-cream it’d be a Vienetta. Congratulations to ABC Jazz for producing a gem of an album that would be a prize in the catalogue of Verve or Prestige. *Richard Mohr is from Readings Port Melbourne*
