With guest Ingrid Jensen on flugelhorn, the opener, a pensive version of "For That Which Was Living, Lost," becomes a piece of stark beauty. Jensen's solo builds as Rowe moves the modal tune with chordal substitutions. As a soloist Rowe is solid. Her swinging runs on the blues, "Lewisburg Bluesy-oo," are positively toe-tapping. Jensen again impresses on the lovely ballad "Longing," a pensive and haunting piece on which she and Rowe connect. The heavier "Sanity Clause" brings some funky diversity to the disc, while Rowe's arrangement of "Alone Together" shows that she can bring new life to an old standard, especially in the hands of her core quartet of saxophonist Andrew Bishop, bassist Kurt Krahnke and drummer Pete Siers.
