At about the 10-minute mark, I swear you will feel the urge to rip off your clothes and throw yourself to the ground, writhing in the beauty of it all.

The percussion builds tension right from the start, and you can't help but wonder where the inevitable explosion will lead. But then a funny thing happens – a short break resets the beat into a loping waltz-time dirge … almost like a second-line parade trying to build up enough steam to get moving. And, yes, the heat does build, thanks to the trumpet/tenor sax duo of Kevin Louis and Brian Horton. Yet, just when I'm absolutely certain that the initial friction will be overcome, pianist Kelvin Sholar busts in to morph the groove in a decidedly more Latin direction. This in no way deters the horns, who slowly bump the intensity by building lines atop the piano. At about the 10-minute mark, I swear you will feel the urge to rip off your clothes and throw yourself to the ground, writhing in the beauty of it all.
