MAYNARD
FERGUSON – COMPLETE HIGH VOLTAGE
Omnivore
Recordings, in conjunction with the Maynard Ferguson trust, is once again happy
to delve deep into the catalog of this truly legendary jazz great. For the
first time in nearly thirty years, all of the recordings that made up High
Voltage and High Voltage 2 are compiled together with two previously unissued
bonus tracks. With liner notes by Ferguson’s co-producer Jim Exon, Complete
High Voltage is now a fully realized collection… a complete document of the
small-group sound that Ferguson created during this time.
PETER BRENDLER - MESSAGE IN MOTION
A great
message in music from bassist Peter Brendler – working here on a set of mostly
original compositions that really showcase his vision as a leader! The music
here spins out in a great mix of lyrical flourishes and more deeply soulful
currents – tunes that have a creative conception, but never fail to swing – all
while creating some very compelling interplay between relatively familiar instrumentation.
The group features Brendler's bass very firmly in the lead – with Rich Perry on
tenor, Peter Evans on trumpet, Vinnie Sperazza on drums, and Ben Monder on
guitar – an instrument that provides a nicely fresh sort of color, especially
in the absence of a piano. Titles include "Splayed",
"Angelic", "Very Light & Very Sweet", "Gimme The
Numbers", "Lucky In Astoria", "Stop Gap", and a nice
take on Alice Coltrane's "Ptah The El Daoud". ~ Dusty Groove
