Critically acclaimed, generously reviewed composer and pianist, Stephen Anderson, revs it up to the maximum on this very special outing for his trio - plus the addition of Joel Frahm - making a premium quartet. Explosive program of really satisfying jazz tunes...very enjoyable.

With a past that has included; performing with the
North Texas One O'clock Lab Band and Two O'clock Lab Band, as well as winner of the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival piano competition, Anderson unleashes the music in this outing... On this his third recording for Summit, Stephen Anderson has never written or sounded better' Roaring
ahead with his trio and saxophonist Joel Frahm, this recording is a powerful indicator that solid, real jazz is very much alive. Anderson' compositions are 'big' and lend themselves to this instrumentation. Before leading his own trio, Summit Records' recording artist Anderson
was pianist with the Lynn Seaton Trio. In addition to receiving two awards from the Barlow Endowment, Anderson's compositions have been performed by some of the best bands around; his two previous releases on Summit have received critical acclaim by reviewers and were widely
accepted by radio everywhere. This time he notches it up further. Grab the edge of your seat and enjoy! As a composer, Anderson's works have been performed by the West Point Military Academy Band, the North Carolina Jazz Repertory Orchestra, Lynn Seaton and the Dallas Chamber
Orchestra, the Crested Butte Chamber Orchestra, the One O'clock Lab Band, Two O'clock Lab band, North Carolina Central University Percussion Ensemble, UNC-Charlotte Percussion Ensemble, UNC Wind Ensemble, Duo XXI,
and a film score broadcast nationally on PBS. The dynamic Joel Frahm lends his musical tenor sax to this powerful musical program - this is just GREAT JAZZ!!
