专辑简介

This is very creative CD. Musicality flows throughout. The high caliber participants meld beautifully. Bob Gullotti (percussion) is awesome as he fosters an atmosphere that keeps everyone firmly planted, yet free to roam. Space, time, colorful sounds... Wow! John Lockwood (Bass) is understated, yet always there, like a soft ticking clock. He is creatively supportive, while tailoring tasteful solos along the way. George Garzone (sax) is inimitable and transcendentally expansive. He sinuously inserts one of a kind Garzonianisms that fit right in. Jeff Galindo (trombone) plays uninhibitedly expressive solos, occasionally taking trips to other spheres with abandon. He is developing his own voice. His prodigious solos are crying out to be heard. Marc Phaneuf (soprano, alto sax) has a bold and adventurous style that is refreshingly original. His gutsy original soprano saxophone sound knocks me out. The group plays so well together that you have to really listen to ferret out Marc's handful of subtle and sensitive arrangements. I love this CD and everyone on it!
