The record
Sahib Shihab's baritone weight and a horn line stacked with Bailey and Persson give this Rearward date its big-band-in-miniature heft, with twin drummers Clare and Clarke rolling underneath. Boland's writing frames a tenor voice that keeps pushing past the arrangements toward something rawer.
