06.21.06 REVIEW: "Cats like Mark Whitfield have worked with great, contemporary jazz vocalists and they have enough going on that they don't have to show up for a quick paycheck. If the front line jazz labels are worried about finding the next big thing, they ought to make some room in the budget by pruning stuff that's reliable but unspectacular and making room for Muir.
