Inventive, energetic, joyous virtuosity elevates each track in Volume 2 of Tobin Mueller’s “Best” series. Focusing on his arranging expertise, Mueller pays homage to classic standards as well as fusion and funk hits, reimagining each tune with dramatic vision. Grammy-winning guitarist Paul Nelson sizzles, bringing his progressive blues chops to his solos. Woody Mankowski’s saxophone soars. The drumming is stellar. The remastered recordings are fresh, clean, crisp. You will not view these tunes the same after hearing Mueller’s thoughtfully crafted takes.
