Bop Boy documents saxophonist Bob Mintzer’s return to "straight-ahead" jazz. Well known for his contemporary work with the Yellowjackets, this recording finds Mintzer blazing new paths through the standards - with beautiful results. It features stunning ensemble playing by an all-star cast: Steve Kuhn (piano), Eddie Gomez (bass) and Steve Gadd (drums). In addition to these wonderful new arrangements of tunes such as "Blue Bossa" and "Invitation", are a handful of inspired new compositions. A must-have for fans of Bob Mintzer and the Yellowjackets! |
