TRIPLICATE Day & Age

MUSIC: Crack open the merlot, light a fine cigar, and lay back in your comfiest chair with your eyes closed. Are you feeling relaxed? Yes? Listen to the music in your head and let it take you away. Go to the Middle East with "Hit On Twelve," then stop over in the Caribbean with "On Green Dophin Street," before you end up in West Africa with "Alioune." Quite a journey indeed.

DRUMMING: David Stanoch has played with Ed Shaughnessy, Bernard Purdie, Clyde Stubblefield, and has been on the faculty of the McNally Smith College of Music for over a decade. Impressive, no? With a resume like that, it shouldn't surprise anyone that he can play so well. He leads most of "Move" with impressive hi-hat accents and then works the cowbell and woodblock clave simultaneously on "Ritual."

VERDICT: Frankly, these guys are so good that it's intimidating.
