The music of Tchaikovsky provides the perfect framework for this group to display their balance of emotion and technical precision. Kenny Barron is in typically inspired form and the quartet mingle beautifully around Ron Carter’s supple, melodic bass lines and Lewis Nash’s discrete and gently propulsive beat. Play Tchaikovsky is based on the composers ballet The Nutcracker Suite and a hard swinging version of "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" appropriately entitled "Groove of the Sugar Plum Fairy" is amongst the highlights.
