Anyone accompanying a jazz organist deserves recognition. With its pedals and multiple decks of keys, the organ is a monster that can sonically devour the rest of the ensemble.
Vibist Steve Yeager appears to have gotten the balance just right on his most recent offering with B-3 exponent Tony Monaco, guitarist Clay Moore and drummer Phil Hey.
Gifted with a sure-footed sense of melody and a dynamic approach, Yeager handles the material (among the tunes the beautiful original "Lisa") magisterially.

Yeager's work favorably recalls some of the top vibes players in Jazz:
Bobby Hutcherson's warmth, Milt Jackson's bluesy, groovy finesse;
Gary Burton's modern conception.
