CD (Item 611309) 482 Music, 2012 — Condition: New Copy

A great mix of composition and improvisation from a really well-balanced group – one that expands the regular quintet of drummer Harris Eisenstadt into an octet! The core of the album features the excellent "Ombudsman" – a work in four parts – penned with a beautiful structure by Eisenstadt, which then lets loose with great solo moments from players who include Nate Wooley on trumpet, Ray Anderson on trombone, Dan Peck on tuba, Jason Mears on alto, Matt Bauder on tenor, and Chris Dingman on vibes! The vibes often sound great ringing out below the horns – and although some moments are quite free, there's a core sense of rhythm and melody that really unites the piece. The set ends with the lovely "Ballad For 10.6.7", grounded with subtle bass work by Gart Stevenson.  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
