Lonely House (Covers)Tomas Ulrich (Cello), Rolf Sturm (Guitar), Michael Bisio (Bass), Cargo Cult (Primary)Tomas Ulrich's Cargo Cult: certainly one of the definitive string groups of the 21st century and perhaps the most versatile and expansive. This latest release follows up CIMP 375 and Cadence Jazz 1214 with a recording that references a wide range of compositions. The inspirations here range from Leadbelly to Monk. Definitely an enchanting and fun listening experience. Catalog Number: CIMP 379
Symbols Strings and MagicJimmy Bennington (Drums), Perry Robinson (Clarinet), Ed Schuller (Bass)Jimmy Bennington's debut CIMP recording follows up his quartet sides with Perry Robinson on Cadence Jazz 1219. Bennington is an understated drummer-—in time or out he carefully listens and supports. This soulful and unhurried concert is arguably one of the finest displays of Perry's unique talents. Ed Schuller's full and supportive bass adds to the intimacy of this wonderful listening experience. A masterful display of restraint and potent focused improvising expression. Catalog Number: CIMP 378
Fresh BreezeOdean Pope (Saxophone), Bobby Zankel (Saxophone), Lee Smith (Bass), Craig McIver (Drums)What do you get when you put together two distinct stylists and a crack rhythm team? Well ... you get no prisoners. This group is comfortable and prepared and swings from the first drop of the laser beam. Hard and hip with plenty of zip. Catalog Number: CIMP 377
Porgy / Bess Act 2David Arner (Piano), Michael Bisio (Bass), Jay Rosen (Drums)Here is the companion to CIMP 374 as David Arner gives us his concluding takes of "Porgy & Bess." No rehash here. Just imaginative playing inspired by Gershwin. Familiar in its suggestions yet out on the edge. If you heard Act 1 (CIMP 374) then Act 2 will be an equally pleasant indulgence for the mind and ears.Catalog Number: CIMP 376
Mr. Fubar, I PresumeESATrio (Primary), Bill Gagliardi (Saxophone), Ken Filiano (Bass), Lou Grassi (Drums)Time and time again, people listen to Bill Gagliardi and wonder why he is not better known and why he waited until age 50 to record. This latest release won't answer any of those questions and in fact will only give new voice to the wondering. If a trio comprising Gagliardi, the remarkably full and inventive Ken Filiano, and the driving Lou Grassi suggests to you a full and stimulating listening experience, then you are correct. For the full experience, listen to the previous ESATrio release on CIMP 370.
