Review by Ken Dryden
Guitarist Graham Dechter's follow-up to his strong debut recording is
another fine effort, utilizing the same rhythm section, consisting of
pianist Tamir Hendelman, bassist John Clayton, and drummer Jeff
Hamilton. Unlike many young instrumentalists, Dechter isn't one to
overplay or sound like a clone of his favorite stylists, allowing the
music to breathe and taking full advantage of his skilled supporting
cast. Opening with a funky take of Wes Montgomery's infrequently
recorded "Road Song," he then turns his attention to Barney Kessel's
obscure bluesy bop vehicle "Be Deedle Dee Do," sharing the spotlight
with Clayton in a tasty performance. Dechter's breezy interpretation of
Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Chega de Saudade [No More Blues]" features his
intricate solo. Hamilton is prominent in the fiery take of Lee Morgan's
"Hocus Pocus," introducing the piece and taking an extended break as
well. Dechter's bluesy side is on display in his spirited rendition of
"Come Rain or Come Shine," with judicious use of repeated riffs
intermingled into his solo. Clayton contributed the laid-back "Grease
for Graham," in which Dechter's soulful playing makes him seem like a
seasoned veteran. The guitarist also proves to be a promising composer,
contributing the warm ballad "Together & Apart" (which opens with
Clayton's warm arco solo), along with the tender "Amanda," the latter of
which segues into the standard "Every Time We Say Goodbye."

Reseña de Ken Dryden
El seguimiento del guitarrista Graham Dechter a su fuerte debut
discográfico es otro gran esfuerzo, utilizando la misma sección rítmica,
compuesta por el pianista Tamir Hendelman, el bajista John Clayton y el
baterista Jeff Hamilton. A diferencia de muchos instrumentistas
jóvenes, Dechter no es de los que exageran o suenan como un clon de sus
estilistas favoritos, permitiendo que la música respire y aprovechando
al máximo su hábil elenco de apoyo. Abriendo con una toma funky de la
canción "Road Song" de Wes Montgomery, grabada con poca frecuencia,
dirige su atención al oscuro vehículo de bluesy bop "Be Deedle Dee Do"
de Barney Kessel, que comparte el centro de atención con Clayton en una
sabrosa actuación. La alegre interpretación de Dechter de "Chega de
Saudade[No More Blues]", de Antonio Carlos Jobim, cuenta con su
intrincado solo. Hamilton es prominente en la ardiente toma del "Hocus
Pocus" de Lee Morgan, introduciendo la pieza y tomando un largo descanso
también. El lado blues de Dechter se muestra en su animada
interpretación de "Come Rain or Come Shine", con el uso juicioso de
repetidos riffs entremezclados en su solo. Clayton contribuyó con la
relajada "Grease for Graham", en la que Dechter parece ser un veterano
con experiencia en el juego. El guitarrista también demuestra ser un
compositor prometedor, aportando la cálida balada "Together & Apart"
(que se abre con el cálido solo de arco de Clayton), junto con la
tierna "Amanda", la última de las cuales pasa a formar parte del
estándar "Every Time We Say Goodbye".
