Tenor saxophonist Ralph Moore offers up a satisfying array of neo hard bop numbers on Furthermore which features some of the up and coming stars of the Wynton Marsalis retro trad jazz school, including trumpeter Roy Hargrove, pianist Benny Green, and bassist Peter Washington, as well as veteran drummers Kenny Washington (Peter's brother) and Victor Lewis. The CD opens with the thematically rich Moore original "Hopscotch" (reminiscent of Coltrane's "Moment's Notice") and works its way through Green's driving "Phoebe's Samba" and Hargrove's Wayne Shorter inspired mood piece "Into Dawn," with all three tunes providing prime vehicles for the innovative yet restrained soloing of these young players. Abetted by streamlined sound production, the urbane and cool mood of this recording crystallizes in Moore's sinuous tenor lines and mellifluous tone heard to great effect on his readings of Neal Hefti's pop gem "Girl's Talk" and his own "310 Blues." Moore and company leave the full-blown delivery of Ben Webster and Coltrane behind in favor of economical performances, and as was the case with many of the original hard bop albums, it takes its cues from Sonny Rollins' Saxophone Colossus and Lee Morgan's Sidewinder. Furthermore does not break the mold so much as provide a pleasurable listening experience of the highest order. A potential dinner party classic; subtle enough not to disturb the guests, but provocative enough to elicit comments.

El saxofonista tenor Ralph Moore ofrece un satisfactorio conjunto de números de neo hard bop en "Furthermore", que cuenta con algunas de las nuevas estrellas de la escuela de retro trad jazz de Wynton Marsalis, como el trompetista Roy Hargrove, el pianista Benny Green y el bajista Peter Washington, así como los veteranos bateristas Kenny Washington (hermano de Peter) y Victor Lewis. El CD se abre con el tema original de Moore "Hopscotch" (que recuerda a "Moment's Notice" de Coltrane) y se abre paso a través de "Phoebe's Samba" de Green y "Into Dawn" de Hargrove, inspirado en Wayne Shorter, y las tres melodías son un vehículo excelente para los innovadores, aunque comedidos, solos de estos jóvenes músicos. Con la ayuda de una producción de sonido optimizada, el ambiente urbano y fresco de esta grabación se cristaliza en las sinuosas líneas de tenor de Moore y en su tono melifluo, que se escucha con gran efecto en sus lecturas de la joya pop de Neal Hefti "Girl's Talk" y de su propia "310 Blues". Moore y compañía dejan atrás la entrega total de Ben Webster y Coltrane en favor de interpretaciones económicas, y como fue el caso de muchos de los álbumes originales de hard bop, toma sus señales del Saxophone Colossus de Sonny Rollins y del Sidewinder de Lee Morgan. Además, no rompe el molde, sino que proporciona una experiencia auditiva placentera de primer orden. Un clásico potencial para una cena; lo suficientemente sutil como para no molestar a los invitados, pero lo suficientemente provocativo como para suscitar comentarios.
