Description
|
|
|
|
A professor at the Berklee College of Music, Bruce Saunders casts a wide net in this well-paced program, from "Another Happy Drinking Song" to the Latin grooves of "Two Piers" and "Litany," contemporary funk ("Squib"), Brubeck-like meters ("Half Right"), mellow grooves ("Keyed In"), ballads ("Grim"), and straight-ahead swing ("Stately"). "The evolving jazz musician is one who refuses to rest on past laurels…. On 8x5, Saunders, with Gibson 335 in hand, explores the potential of his instrument without abandoning its more endearing traditional aspects … lead[ing] his quintet through a rigorous, yet spirited set of his own unique compositions, firmly rooted in progressive mainstream sounds. Saunders writes well-conceived melodies supported by clever harmony and counterpoint. The interplay between guitar, saxophone and trombone results in sound textures that are engaging and creatively out-of-the-ordinary."—All About Jazz
