Outside of the CDs opener \"Tin Soldier,\" a Warfield original that opens with a brief horn fanfare and an explosive Penn drum solo, and Warfield's \"Prayer For Uthman,\" which starts out quietly but builds momentum, this is a more relaxed date than A Cool Blue, with Warfield's lyrical writing and playing being the focus of this recording, and Harris' vibes adding more color to the group sound. All in all, a fine step in Warfield's development, although some might like to have heard more of Stafford. ~ Greg Turner","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47947650990367,"sku":"8712474112227","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/272f1b8d7e1bca2f51b8d84e3c64585d.jpg?v=1777966193","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/whisper-in-the-midnight","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
