Title: Brooding, moody, rich, challenging orchestration
Review: Flugelhorn and trumpet virtuoso Tom Harrell, the composer and most important (but not the only important) soloist of this album manages to deliver interestingjazz orchestrations imbued with all sorts of Carribean and Latin instruments and orchestral principles...I believe this album to be equally appealing to hard-core jazz fans and to those in search of experiment, cross-overing or (postmodern?) mixing of genres.In addition to Tom, the soloists are Greg Tardy (cl, ts), Bryan Carrott (marimba), Romero Lubambo (g), Dewey Redman (ts), Danilo Perez (p), Mike Stern (g), David Sanchez (ss), David Finck (b), Duduka Da Fonseca (dm);non-soloing participants of these sessions include Regina Carter (vi), Ugonna Okegwo (b), Gary Smulyan (bs, b-cl), Leon Parker (dm, perc.)...
