You St. was the inaugural release of Union Records, dubbed "Washington's coolest little label" by the Washington Post. The quintet is an expanded version of my jam session trio at the time, with the horn line augmented by the wonderfully lyrical Rob Holmes on tenor sax and bass clarinet, and ex-Airmen of Note lead trombonist Rick Lillard. Aaron Clay holds down most of the bass duties, contributing a remarkable unaccompanied solo on "Plain Folk," while the great Leland Nakamura drives it all home. Bassist Steve Zerlin and drummer Francis Thompson sit in on the cool-inflected "Nana," and Zerlin also provides the edgy pulse of the title cut. The tunes on this date are also more expansive, with a mix of dense arranging and free blowing. "Paradiso" has shades of Mingus and "Michelle" is a Coltrane-tribute take on the Beatles classic. This CD was originally released in 1996 on Union Records and is packaged in a standard jewel case with a four-page booklet. Total run-time is 64 minutes.
