Album Description

Produced by Donald Brown and featuring Kirk Whalum, trumpeter/flugelhornist Tom Williams, and pianist Keith Brown, Donald’s son, this album showcases The Maguires Twins, Carl Seitaro Maguire on drums and Alan Shutaro Maguire on bass on material ranging from jazz standards like “Speak Low” to the Broadway-derived title track to “Hamabe no Uta,” a popular early-20th-century Japanese tune translated into jazz. They were only 18 years old at the time of recording. Perhaps most significantly to them, they recorded Joe Henderson’s hard-bop classic, “Inner Urge.” Henderson had an enormous influence on them. “He got us into the music,” says Carl. “His harmonies blew me away, plus his writing is so drummeristic.”
