Hal Galper Trio -][- AIREGIN REVISITED – [Origin Records, 2012]

Following up on what’s been called the veteran pianist’s finest recording to date, 2011’s “Trip the Light Fantastic,” Galper and his trio offer another exhilarating set of music, further defining the very personal “rubato” style of collective performance they’ve developed over the last six years.

From an intimate “Embraceable You,” to the closing, high-flying take of Sonny Rollins’ “Airegin,” Galper, bassist Jeff Johnson, and drummer John Bishop, display a singular group aesthetic, fully grounded in the language of bop while always in pursuit of new possibilities.

Produced by Hal Galper, Jeff Johnson & John Bishop

Chad McCullough and Bram Weijters, URBAN NIGHTINGALE

Chad McCullough and Bram Weijters -][- URBAN NIGHTINGALE – [Origin Records, 2012] –

Now with multiple tours of Belgium and the western U.S. under their belts, Seattle-based trumpeter Chad McCullough and pianist Bram Weijters from Antwerp present their second recording of modern, lyrical originals.

With bassist Piet Verbist and drummer John Bishop, the quartet creates a perpetually unhurried environment where melodies can unfurl over harmonically compelling compositions. Bram displays a Brad Mehldau-like touch on his Buildings in a Dark City, and McCullough’s burnished flugelhorn searches on Nightingale.
