Although vibraphonist Frits Landesbergen had recorded a couple of dates as a leader for Timeless prior to appearing as a guest with the Jeff Hamilton Trio on the 1996 studio session Dynavibes, the Mons CD should introduce him to a wider audience. With Hamilton's first-rate drumming and solid accompaniment from pianist Larry Fuller and bassist Lynn Seaton, the trio turns over the spotlight to Landesbergen, who acquits himself rather well with his four-mallet technique playing a mix of standards like "Cherokee" and "Sweet Lorraine," bop classics ("Killer Joe"), and a quartet of intriguing originals, including the funky "Happy Kick" and a smoking tribute to a legendary vibraphonist, "Blue for Milt." Overall, this is a very rewarding session.

Aunque el vibrafonista Frits Landesbergen había grabado un par de fechas como líder de Timeless antes de aparecer como invitado con el Jeff Hamilton Trio en la sesión de estudio Dynavibes de 1996, el CD de Mons debería presentarlo a un público más amplio. Con la batería de primera clase de Hamilton y el sólido acompañamiento del pianista Larry Fuller y el bajista Lynn Seaton, el trío pone en el punto de mira a Landesbergen, que se desenvuelve bastante bien con su técnica de cuatro mazos tocando una mezcla de estándares como "Cherokee" y "Sweet Lorraine"," clásicos del bop ("Killer Joe"), y un cuarteto de intrigantes originales, incluyendo el funky "Happy Kick" y un humeante homenaje a un legendario vibrafonista, "Blue for Milt." En general, esta es una sesión muy gratificante.
