Tim Armacost's second release on the Double-Time label is solidly within the post-bop mainstream, yet uncommonly ambitious. Any young tenor player who dares to tackle as grand a composition as John Coltrane's "Crescent" is aiming high. No less bold is his decision to open the album with "Body and Soul," a proving ground for tenor saxophonists since Coleman Hawkins put it on the map in 1939 (and Coltrane reinvented it in 1960). Armacost handles these challenges well, bookending "Crescent" with turbulent rubato passages (hats off to drummer Billy Hart) and taking "Body and Soul" at an easy 3/4 clip. His own compositions are intelligent and varied: "Sustenance" and "Special Delivery" are brisk and burning, "Black Sand Beach" is a well-crafted ballad, and the title track is a peppy samba. His playing is passionate and strikingly mature, and as an up-and-coming jazzer, he couldn't have asked for better sidemen than Billy Hart, bassist Ray Drummond, and pianist Bruce Barth. While The Wishing Well doesn't quite have the raw energy of 1998's Live at Small's (even though it was also recorded live, in Holland), it is still a fine offering from a fine musician.

Tim Armacost
Active Decades: '90s and '00s
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Post-Bop, Hard Bop
Growing up in Tokyo, Washington, and Los Angeles combined with Tim Armacost's lifetime of world traveling enhanced this multi-instrumentalist's absorption of cultural musics. Armacost started playing clarinet in Tokyo at age eight. By 16, he had moved to Washington and switched to playing tenor saxophone in big bands. At 18, he moved to L.A. and began developing his chops in numerous live settings with Bobby Bradford and Charlie Shoemake. Upon graduating magna cum laude from Ponoma College, he headed for Amsterdam and gigged consistently around Europe for seven years, teaching and recording. Continuing his travels, he moved to India and learned tabla and the tradition of Hindustani classical music, performing frequently with Indian jazz and classical musicians and playing Bombay's international jazz festival. In 1993, Armacost moved to New York, where he recorded his first session as a leader, Fire, on Concord. Live at Smalls was released next on Double Time, featuring trumpeter Tom Harrell. During this time, Armacost recorded and played with Kenny Barron, Roy Hargrove, David Murray Big Band, Maria Schneider Orchestra, and Randy Brecker, amongst others. Other diverse Armacost recordings feature the intercontinental jazz trio, a cooperative group featuring Joris Teepe on bass and Shingo Okudaira on drums. In 2000, another straight-ahead jazz date, The Wishing Well, was released on Double Time.
