"So listen, I'm a gonna tell you what... This here is an exremely fresh disk with much variety and complexity. I am not going to go and tell you all about Mr. Plexico, because until today I didn't even know who he was myself. I picked this cd up along with a handful of other cds for a dollar each. Upon checking out the notes and such in the booklet(it was used),I did catch the fact that he's played with Steve Coleman's Five Elements and that he was a master at many tempos and styles. well,if you have ever heard Coleman and His Five Elements, that goes without saying. At this time, I am listening to the 8th song of 11, and I am loving it. This is very mature jazz that will interest the purveyor of fine jazz on many levels. Heck, if nothing else, at the prices people are asking, trust me, you will totally score, this is good. So there, take that."
