“The answer to this CD’s title is the musicians. The heated bebop-oriented session finds Paquito D’Rivera joined by trumpeter Claudio Roditi, flügelhornist Mark Morganelli, Danilo Perez or Pedrito Lopez on piano, bassist Harvie Swartz, and drummer Al Foster. An extra treat is that veteran tenorman James Moody guests on three of the nine selections, inspiring D’Rivera to be particularly heated. Highlights include exciting versions of “Giant Steps” and “I Mean You,” a clarinet-bass duet on “Out of Nowhere,” Perez’s “You Got It, Diz,” and the blazing title cut. Highly recommended.” – Scott Yanow/AllMusic.
