Evening Star (Joshua Breakstone album)

Evening Star is an album by guitarist Joshua Breakstone that was recorded in 1990 and first released by the Contemporary label.

Reception

In his review on AllMusic, Scott Yanow states "guitarist Joshua Breakstone utilizes two well-respected veterans (trombonist Jimmy Knepper and pianist Tommy Flanagan) on a quintet set, along with two younger players ... The guitarist's single-note solos often make him seem like a horn player, so he never clashes with the pianist. It is a special treat getting to hear the under-recorded Jimmy Knepper stretching out".
