Jazz
Tom Harrell - Flugelhorn, Trumpet
Bill Goodwin - Drums, Producer
Danilo Perez - Piano
Joe Lovano - Sax (Tenor)
Peter Washington - Bass
Phil Woods - Sax (Alto)
Tom Harrell has no tolerance for either shallow musicianship or hyperbole about jazz players. So when this highly respected Trumpet speaks of "genius and innovation" in Jazz, in the same breath, we'd best listen.

An all-star frontline of Tom Harrell, Joe Lovano, and Phil Woods head this impressive sextet record on the Chesky label. The writing on Upswing is inspired throughout, as is generally the case on Harrell's albums. The addition of a third horn allows Harrell to create colors in his arrangements that weren't possible with the two-horn format of many of his previous recordings. The playing on the Upswing is uniformly exceptional. Harrell sticks to flugelhorn for most of the date, often favoring it in situations that would instinctively call for trumpet, and sounds marvelously lyrical throughout. Tenorist Joe Lovano also plays strongly, contributing a wonderfully aggressive and energetic solo on Harrell's "Train Shuffle." Fans of altoist Phil Woods will be delighted by his performance here, as he sounds in fine voice, bringing his idiosyncratic pitch bends and witty in-jokes to the session. Pianist Danilo Perez accompanies enthusiastically, raising the intensity of all those involved. Upswing should be considered an essential purchase for those interested in exploring the Harrell discography.

Tom Harrell
Active Decades: '70s, '80s, '90s and '00s
Born: Jun 16, 1946 in Urbana, IL
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Post-Bop, Mainstream Jazz
Tom Harrell has managed to fight courageously (and successfully) against schizophrenia to become one of jazz's top trumpeters of the 1980s and '90s. On-stage, he is totally focused on his playing and seems to only come alive when he is improvising. Harrell grew up in Northern California and toured with Stan Kenton (1969), Woody Herman (1970-1971), and Horace Silver (1973-1977). He moved to New York in the mid-'70s, and played during this period with Cecil Payne, Bill Evans (1979), Lee Konitz's Nonet (1979-1981), and George Russell (1982). Harrell traveled the world with the Phil Woods Quintet (1983-1989) and went on to generally lead his own bands, recording for Contemporary and Chesky before landing at RCA for 1996's Labyrinth; subsequent outings include 1997's The Art of Rhythm and 1999's Time's Mirror, 2001's Paradise and 2003's Wise Children. In 2007, Harrell moved to High Note and released Light On. His style mixes together the power of Clifford Brown with the lyricism of Chet Baker.
