Top Galper Album

Among my top picks from the mainstream collection. And absolutely my go-to Galper album. This one's a beast. Randy Becker on the title track? Killer. I'm all about those electric trumpets. Not a single letdown here. 'This moment' is another highlight. It's heating up in NY. Windows wide open. Top down. Just cruising. Can't imagine a better tune for the ride. What a record.

Among my top picks in the mainstream collection. And hands down, my top Galper album. This one's a beast. Randy Becker on the title track is absolutely killer. I'm such a fan of electric trumpets. It's beyond satisfying. This moment is another highlight. The weather's heating up here in NY. Windows rolled down. Top off. Driving around. Can't imagine a better tune for this. What an incredible album.
