In This WorldJohn Gunther (Bass Clarinet/Saxophones), Leo Huppert (Bass), Jay Rosen (Drums)This trio has been the core for John Gunther's previous four CIMP discs. For this date they return to the original trio root of 1997 and boldly address eight Gunther originals including the hippest cowboy type tune (that's also it's title) to come off the range in many a moon. Tucked in among the always memorable Gunther compositions is one by Monk ("Ruby My Dear"). Recorded October 13, 2004.Catalog Number: CIMP 232
Gone Fishin'John Gunther (Tenor Saxophone), Ron Miles (Trumpet), Rob Thomas (Violin), Leo Huppert (Bass), Joy Rosen (Drums)If you have not been charmed and captivated by Mr. Gunther's 3 previous CIMPs, you won't like this either, because it's just more wonderful compositions exposed by a very together and long lasting group. Recorded September 6 & 7, 2000.Catalog Number: CIMP 176
Above Now BelowJohn Gunther (Tenor Saxophone), Ron Miles (Trumpet), Rob Thomas (Violin), Leo Huppert (Bass), Jay Rosen (Drums)Highly acclaimed for his compositions, John Gunther has assembled a beautifully coordinated quintet for an investigation of the long form. The music here is loaded with memorable themes, wonderful transitions and emotive expositions and shifts of time, jumps and moods. Absolute delight for a broad range of critical tastes. Recorded June 12, 1998.Catalog Number: CIMP 163
Healing SongJohn Gunther (Alto Saxophone), Ron Miles (Trumpet), Leo Huppert (Bass), Jay Rosen (Drums)Besides being a fine tenor player, John Gunther is arguably one of the best composers since Horace Silver and Cedar Walton. Joined here by his regular quartet, they spiritedly display 10 wonderful new compositions along with Monk's 'Crepuscule With Nellie.' Recorded Sept. 16 & 17, 1997.Catalog Number: CIMP 136
