This album features Roney as the mentor and guiding light of a quicksilver group of the Next Generation Jazz Artists: Emilio Modeste (saxes), Oscar Williams II (piano), Paul Cuffari (bass) and Kojo Odu Roney (drums). The core group is augmented by Philadelphia guitarist Quitin Zoto and the legendary drummer, Lenny White, who played on Miles Davis' classic Bitches Brew recording. From the pointillistically beautiful "Why Should There Be Stars" to the new sounds of Dave Liebman's "New Breed" Roney and company offer a rare glimpse into the future of jazz.
Personnel: Wallace Roney (trumpet), Emilio Modeste (tenor & soprano saxophones), Oscar Williams II (piano; Paul Cuffari (bass), Quintin Zoto (guitar), Kojo Odu Roney, Lenny White (drums)
