This group features Nir Felder, who is probably one of the best jazz guitarists as of late. He has a very exciting sound that balances highly linear/chromatic lines with intervallic leaps (ex: 4ths) that is usually not seen in guitar playing. This is very clearly seen in 6:10 where he goes up the chromatic scale before using intervals to leap around. There is a very interesting syncopated rhythm that is highlighted during the start of the solo section around 1:51. You can really see how the sax player builds up his solo after starting with motivic development. The drummer built a crazy amount of energy during the keyboard solo that is very impressive as very few drummers can do that.
