“Sencalar’s effervescent “In You Own Head.” His sparkling cascade of notes contrasts nicely with mellifluous chords from the leaders’ fellow alum guitarist Nathan Borton. Glassman wields his bass trombone with grace and elegance while Sencalar takes center stage with an inventive extemporization made up of muscular and fluid lines.”
