Photographer: Travis Anderson.

Arranger: Terell Stafford.

Taking Chances: Live at the Dakota finds journeyman trumpeter Terell Stafford leading his quintet through a performance at the Dakota Bar & Grill in Minneapolis, MN in June of 2005. A fiery improvisor with formidable trumpet technique and an ear for knotty, post-bop lines Stafford has graced the albums of countless other artists and it's always a pleasure to hear him get a chance to stretch-out on his own. Joining him here is a stellar ensemble including saxophonist Tim Warfield, pianist Bruce Barth, bassist Derrick Hodge, and drummer Dana Hall. From the frenetic and foot stomping lead-off of Stafford original "A Nick Off the Mark" to the unexpectedly plaintive and bluesy take on the traditional lullaby "Jesus Loves Me" and the similarly engaging ballad "Old Folks," Taking Chances is a superb entry into Stafford's discography. This is urbane, cerebral, and soulful modern jazz. ~ Matt Collar

Personnel: Terell Stafford (trumpet, flugelhorn); Terell Stafford; Tim Warfield (soprano saxophone, tenor saxophone); Derrick Hodge (bass instrument); Bruce Barth (piano); Dana Hall (drums).

Audio Mixer: Katsuhiko Naito.

Down Beat (p.74) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[His] hard work and unassuming approach pays off on TAKING CHANCES, a testament to Stafford's prowess as an instrumentalist, bandleader and composer."
JazzTimes (p.128) - "'A Nick Off the Mark' starts things off festively with an uptempo Latin rhythm and solos that call forth salsa, carnivale and mariachi themes....A set so solid and enjoyable isn't taking chances; it's taking charge."

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Hard Bop with a Modern Twist
This is an excellent example of modern hard bop. First start with great players including sax player Tim Warfield who does some of his best blowing ever on this CD, check out his take on Jesus Loves Me. Yes it’s the same tune you may have learned in Sunday school. But here it’s transformed into a hard bop work out. Bruce Barth on Piano, Derrick Hodge on bass and Dana Hall on drums are a fiery rhythm section that vamps while Stafford & Warfield exchange phrases throughout. The rhythm section also gets a chance to strut their stuff. All have a chance to offer nice solos throughout the entire set. The sound is awesome it makes you feel like you are right in the middle of the club. If you like hard bop Art Blakey style you cannot go wrong with this excellent CD. Easily one of the best of the year.
