Recorded the same two days as Moods, Vol. 1, this trio/quartet outing by guitarist Philip Catherine, flügelhornist Tom Harrell, bassist Hein Van DeGeyn, and (on two of the ten songs) keyboardist Michel Herr has a bit more energy than the first volume and more variations in tempos and moods. All of the music except for Charles Mariano's "Pink Lady" and the second take of "A Time for Love" are originals by group members. The attractive group sound, which often has the three main musicians functioning as equals, is a major plus throughout this generally successful set. - Scott Yanow
