Paralic begins with “Steps,” an interesting combination of drummer Vinnie Sperrazza’s polyrhythms and West Coast cool. Paralic’s work has plenty of open spaces for collaboration and, as Mike McGinnis (clarinet), Elias Bailey (bass) and then pianist Art Hirahara solo, each adds his own shades and colors to Paralic’s work. McGinnis, on clarinet this time, is particularly impressive during a final sparring session with Sperrazza, who brilliantly bashes away as McGinnis makes a series of stabbing runs.--Nick Deriso, AllAboutJazz.com MUSICIANS: Vinnie Sperrazza, drums Mike McGinnis, clarinet Art Hirahara, piano Elias Bailey, upright bass COMPOSED AND ARRANGED BY: Drew Paralic (c)2013 LOC, BMI
