Tom Harrell - trumpet, flugelhorn
Wayne Escoffery - tenor saxophone; Danny Grissett - piano; Ugonna Okegwo - bass; Johnathan Blake - drums
Hailed by Newsweek for his pure melodic genius, Tom Harrell is widely recognized as one of the most creative and uncompromising jazz instrumentalists and composers of our time. He is that rare improviser who never resorts to cliche, a talent who seems to have an unlimited reserve of melodic ideas. Each of his albums has found its way onto various critics "Top Ten" lists worldwide. ROMAN NIGHTS is the third HighNote album that features the current members of his quintet. The remarkably cohesive unit includes tenor saxophonist Wayne Escoffery, pianist Danny Grissett, drummer Johnathan Blake, and his bassist of 12 years, Ugonna Okegwo. Together, the band explores the limitless possibilities offered by Tom's imaginative and hauntingly expressive original works. On ROMAN NIGHTS, Tom Harrell once again exhibits the talent, creativity and touch of genius which led Whitney Balliet (New York Times), Bill Milkowski (Jazz Times) and David Hadju (Entertainment Weekly) to unanimously proclaim him "the premier trumpeter of his generation."
Tom Harrell
Active Decades: '80s, '90s and '00s
Born: Jun 16, 1946 in Urbana, IL
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Post-Bop, Straight-Ahead Jazz, Jazz Instrument, Trumpet 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 and well into the new millennium. 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), the Lee Konitz 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, 1999's Time's Mirror, 2001's Paradise, and 2003's Wise Children. In 2007, Harrell moved to High Note and released Light On. In 2009, Harrell continued in a similar vein with the atmospheric Prana Dance. His style mixes together the power of Clifford Brown with the lyricism of Chet Baker.
