Club Jazz fans should take immediate notice of City Life from the Jazz Quintet, The Dangling Success. They build their endearing selection of songs, including a gracious rendition of The Rolling Stones' rockier “Beast of Burden,”into a collection of enjoyable instrumentals.
The Niekrewicz experience is the centerpiece here with his saxophones. But his accompanying band highlight his instrument with excellence, every note played in perfection. The band's music is a time capture from the '70s and enjoyably so. City Life is easy to fall in love with. I highly recommend the full-album experience because you won't want to break this one apart. - ****
