Hess adds guitarist Dale Bruning his quintet, formed by Ron Miles (trumpet), John Gunther (flute, alto saxophone), Ken Filiano (bass) and Matt Wilson (drums). Bruning introduces a different personality to the music with their dynamic, no matter if it is just up the band or talking with the saxophone of Hess.

The music features a range of varieties ranging from a soft ballad to something freely agitated. Há bebop e impetuoso ritmo caribenho. There Bebop and heady pace Caribbean.
Hess and Bruning go quiet moments on "While My Lady Sleeps". Hess is humming and eloquent, dipping slightly in each sentence to find little nuances, bringing music to the fascination. He puts the sentences to avesssas with Bruning embellished each song with chords causing a delicate complement.
The constant changes of time and direction pressagia expectations. Hess puts power in their actions, Filiano Wilson uses the bow and exciting color and the beat. They go to a running time, however no one can imagine being romantic. O certo é que é agradável ouvi-los. The truth is that it is pleasant to hear them.
The dexterity of the ballads are garrulity Hess in "Thursday's Theme". Gunther with the flute, the track breathes passion. Improvisation is accurate and there is space to fill.

The focus of the band is clear: Create exciting and lyrical music. They derive largely successful.
