"Finest disc released this year."- AllAboutJazz.com (Oct. '09).
Chances are that listeners sufficiently impressed by the original to pick up the sequel will be delighted by Cunliffe's release, 'The Blues and The Abstract Truth, Take 2'. They should feel doubly rewarded upon recognizing the familiar strains of "Stolen Moments" and "Hoe Down," as Cunliffe has managed to capture much of the poignancy and playfulness of the originals while imbuing them with personal hues that are as fresh and creative as their sources. Along with Cunliffe's piano, the Ellingtonian trombone of Andy Martin is a key element in the success of a venture that, in the minds of many listeners, still echoes with the vivid original contributions of Bill Evans, Freddie Hubbard and reed player Eric Dolphy.
