Opening with soulful, NTRO , Nate Robinson on bass and Gino Iglehart on drums set a solid foundation, with Corey Lacy building on keys and lush guitar work by Zac Harmon and Kingston Livingston really setting the bar.

On a more solitude take on Juan Tizol's Caravan , Goletz shows what great trombone tone is with nicely inventive phrasing.
