"Relatively secure in his idiosyncrasies after nearly 50 years as a pro, Tom Harrell remains a player resolute in resisting complacency. Each of his earlier 8 albums for HighNote has touched on different facets of his broad-based interest in improvised music. "Something Gold, Something Blue" dusts off an album conceit from early in Harrells career by teaming his singular brass with another avatar of the instrument. Back in 1979 his tandem partner was John McNeil. Here its trumpet prodigy Ambrose Akinmusire, 36 years Harrells junior, but every bit as up to the mutually-gratifying prospect of locking horns. The rest of the band is worthy of Harrells usual caliber of collaborators. Guitarist Charles Altura bridges bop dexterity with an inventory of judiciously incorporated effects. Bassist Ugonna Okegwo and drummer Johnathan Blake regularly find that sweet spot between responsive support and assertive prominence that caters beautifully to Harrells varied compositional needs."
