Jazz
Post-Bop
Recorded: Jun 25-26, 1992
Jack Walrath, trumpet
Larry Willis, piano
Steve Novosel, bass
Mellow jazz and my favorite mood CD: lyrical and powerfully moving. I hear a warm, dark-toned, soulful trumpeter-Mingus' last trumpet star-making magic with the master of romantic jazz piano. Steve Novosel's rich-toned, every-note-counts bass solidly anchors both the groove and the harmonies. Wait'll you hear the soaring passion of their "Bess, You Is My Woman." TAS says "Walrath's horn radiates a burnished bass warmth…you can practically see the overlapping overtones rising above the Steinway…perhaps Sprey's best engineering work to date." A Fi Super Disc. |
