LEW TABACKIN –
SOUNDSCAPES
A really
compelling album from reedman Lew Tabackin – a set that has Lew working in a
very open trio setting – which is quite a change from his best-known
performances in his big band with Toshiko Akioshi! Of courses, Lew has recorded
in smaller groups before – but this one's got an especially loose, open feel –
as there's no piano at all – just Tabackin on tenor and flute, plus bass from
Boris Kozlov, and drums from Mark Taylor! Lew really stretches out on both his
instruments – with these long solos that have lots of nice edges, especially on
the tenor – in a style that's especially nice on the original tunes for the
set, which include "Minoru", "Bb Where It's At", and
"Garden Of Life Time". The whole album's got a nicely soulful vibe –
maybe more than usual for Lew – and other titles include "Afternoon In
Paris", "Day Dream", and "Sunset & The
Mockingbird". ~ Dusty

MARCUS PRINTUP
– YOUNG BLOODS
Sparkling work
from trumpeter Marcus Printup – a player who can blow with great power when
needed, but also hit these slinky, soulful moments too – a balance that only
seems to get better and better with each new record! There's a bit of Freddie
Hubbard in that approach, but Printup's definitely his own man too – and can
step easily into bolder, more spiritual passages – especially when working with
a group this great – as the lineup includes Patrick Bartley on alto, Coleman Hughes
on trombone, Allyn Johnson on piano, Dezron Douglas on bass, and Ulysses Owens
on drums! Owens and Douglas really hold things together wonderfully – with a
style that's sophisticated, yet always swinging – especially on some of the
album's boldest tracks. Titles include the great originals "En
Route", "The Bishop", "Greasy", and "Young
Bloods" – plus a wonderful take on "In Your Own Sweet Way", done
at a level that really opens the tune up with the horns! ~ Dusty Groove
