With his third leader date, Owens references the omnivorous attitude that's pervasive in today's jazz community. Since jazz means more things to more people than anybody could ever truly sort out, why not just touch on a lot of them? Owens goes with that line of thinking, throwing in everything from a groove-and-claps miniature (Onward & Upward Intro"), to a soulful vocal number ("People Make The World Go Round"), to a reflective original ("The Gift Of Forgiveness"). Nothing with a beat behind it is off-limits, as Owens pushes in some places and sits back in others. But regardless of what mode or mood he's in, Owens' music always points to the fact that he's in the driver's seat.
The drummer's taste in sidemen, like his playing, proves to be impeccable, as he brings in plenty of big guns to join the party. Things get playful and frisky when Anat Cohen's clarinet points south toward Brazil on "Samba Jam," Owens and pianist Christian Sands put a little intensity into the mix during "SST," trombonist Michael Dease steps forward on "For Nelson," and guitarist Gilad Hekselman adds a touch of modernity. Trumpeter Jason Palmer proves to be the standout in this sea of strong personalities, taking a spiritual stance in a few places and batting things around with Owens when the temperature rises. He's been "one to watch" for a while, but that might be too limiting a statement; one who's truly arrived should no longer have to wear such a label.
There's a lot to love here, and a lot of players to appreciate, but Owens owns this one. It's all about grooves, good vibes and a winning attitude. (Dan Bilawsky, AllAboutJazz)
