Bob Berg/Another Standard(Stretch, 1997)
”You And The Night And The Music” runs at high speed, giving off an ominous atmosphere, and it's really cool.
It's tryly modern jazz.
Bob Berg is sometimes compared to Michael Brecker because they are both white tenor players, but Bob Berg seems to be more straightforward.
It would be no exaggeration to say that this album, in which he challenged the standards with all his might, is his masterpiece.
In any case, if you want to listen to modern jazz right now, this album is perfect.
