Out Of Stock

CD

✈
Trumpeter Alex Sipiagin just keeps on getting better and better with each new recording – finding a way to strengthen his phrasing at the core, while reaching out to new modes of expression – almost always with a classic vibe that takes us back to the strengths of Freddie Hubbard or Art Farmer, yet without copping any of their styles at all! The music here is all original – mostly by Sipiagin, and a few by reedman David Binney – a combination of tunes that sparkle strongly right from the start, and which make use of key electric elements from guitarist Adam Rogers, whose instrument often comes in to the mix at a chromatic level that offsets the acoustic instruments in a beautiful way. In addition to Sipiagin, Binney, and Rogers, the sextet also features John Escreet on piano, Matt Brewer on bass, and Eric Harland on drums – on titles that include "A Way To Her", "Momentum", "Echoes Of Thought", "Balance", "Yragon", "Trio Whale", and "38 58".  © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Additional Marks & Notes

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.


Used CD Grade

We only use the grade "Used CD" for non-new CDs. This all-encompassing grade was chosen it because we only buy and offer used CDs in the best possible condition.

When you purchase a used CD you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks, the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves), and the booklet to be in good shape. Used CDs may show some signs of use, but if there are significant details or defects we will describe the item's condition (just like we do with LPs), so look for notes on cutout marks, stickers, promo stamps or other details before ordering.

All of our used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. After you receive a used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly. If it does not, you can request a return for a full refund.
