A set of hard-biting modern jazz improvisations from Flecktones' sax master Jeff Coffin.
"[Jeff Coffin's] boldness, intensity, and verve set him apart from other saxophonists." - Jazz Times
If you are searching for the next upcoming original saxophonist in modern jazz, Coffin may be your man. He plays alto and tenor in a manner very reminiscent of a young Sonny Rollins; savvy, brawny, unabashed and fearless. Four of the nine cuts are with sax-bass-drums, again evoking favorable comparison to the legendary hard bop edged Rollins-Wilbur Ware-Elvin Jones triad. Trumpeter Rod McGaha is on the other five, and he adds a lot -- his saucy Don Cherry-like smeared solos and pungent harmonic lines run in tandem with Coffin, making a formidable team and an arresting sound. The trio takes on some stiff challenges: a moderate New Orleans shuffle ("First Comes Last"), a fanfare intro to head noddin' bluesy swing to free boppin' title track, and a sweet and sour blues ("Espoo You"). The finale is a hymnal reverent "Prayer" with jingle bell threads woven throughout. But "Angle of Response" is a lengthy barnburner, a modal bassline in five and four beats alternately providing the foundation for Coffin to play alto and tenor simultaneously. The following piece, "Something Quick" (another workout over ten minutes), has the band chewing up everything in its path, a tour-de-force hard bop epic. Seamless free sections are included here and there, and the ensemble, with bassist Chris Enghauser and drummer Tom Giampietro, keep the music percolating no matter the tempo. Coffin has a tiger by the tail on this extraordinary, highly recommended disc.

Jeff Coffin
Active Decades: '90s and '00s
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Modern Creative
Saxophonist/composer Jeff Coffin is perhaps best known for his work with Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, but he has also maintained a thriving solo and collaborative career since 1991, when he left his native Texas for Nashville, TN after graduating college. Coffin has provided support for a wide array of artists, including the Dave Matthews Band, Van Morrison, Branford Marsalis, Medeski, Martin & Wood and the Mavericks; closer to home, he plays with the Vibration Arts Ensemble and established a local, bi-monthly jazz workshop and jam session. He released his solo debut Outside The Lines in 1997, and followed it two years later with Commonality.
