Saw Mr. Blanchard at the Detroit International Jazz Fest this past Sept. He played "Choices" without Mr. Wests' commentary for the 1st 3 numbers without breaks. I was blown away by how "Grown Up" the pieces sounded as opposed to a hook then a reason to solo by most artists. I have been playing this almost daily trying to not play it too much for fear of wearing it out which tends to happen once you know all the melodies and changes by heart. Beautiful, thoughtful, grown up sounding jazz.
