Editorial review

Bob Gallo is hardly well known to jazz listeners and the lack of liner notes keeps interested fans from learning more. But Gallo is an accomplished post-bop guitarist whose compositions hold ones interest, accompanied by band that includes two veterans of the Mingus Big Band (trumpeter Alex Sipiagin, who has also recorded extensively as a leader for Criss Cross, along with bassist Boris Koslov), drummer Gene Jackson (who has worked on dozens of recordings since 1988), whereas pianist Misha Tsiganov is a bit of a mystery man. Gallo's charts motivate his musicians into top notch performances, though none of his songs is especially memorable. This is one of countless self-released CDs that has good music but may miss a lot of press coverage and radio airplay because of a curious lack of information in its packaging. ~ Ken Dryden, All Music Guide
