A lap of honour celebratory live quartet version of some of Cameron Graves' earlier work here featuring reworkings of tracks heard on his albums Planetary Prince and the hard thrashing Seven. It's good fun but beware! You might suddenly be channelling your inner heavy metal-loving teenage years. Keyboardist Graves, well known for his work with Kamasi Washington, has guitarist Colin Cook, bassist Max Gerl and drummer Mike Mitchell with him on the record and there are lots of bravura touches, chunky riffs, highwire act solos and plenty of volume. Judging by the audience applause they certainly lapped all this up.
