Keyboardist Will Boulware and company strike again with another dose of to-die-for contemporary jazz. His first Eighty-Eight’s label effort, “Over Crystal Green”, won Swing Journal’s Golden Disk award and helped to launch a label that has now received extensive acclaim from jazz and audiophile press.
