“Trumpeter Liam Sillery’s Phenomenology is so natural that only one word can be used to describe it: perfect.” –DOWNBEAT MAGAZINE

Liam Sillery, Priorité

Liam Sillery -][- Priorité –Mp3– [OA2 Records, 2011] –

Following a recording that Downbeat magazine declared a “masterpiece” in it’s 2010 year-end edition, Sillery just proceeds on in doing what he does best – creating forward-looking, modern, articulate jazz with his tight knit ensemble of equally inspired improvisors.

Never creating obvious or overly predictable music, his trumpet solos are full of subtle surprises while his compositions are fresh and highly original. Sillery’s 5th solo outing on OA2 further reveals a singular artist in the prime of his artistic development.

Performers:
LIAM SILLERY: trumpet
MATT BLOSTEIN: alto saxophone
JESSE STACKEN: piano
THOMAS MORGAN: double bass
VINNIE SPERRAZZA: drums

“…an extraordinary session of creative ensemble interplay and free-wheeling improvisations.” —All About Jazz

Liam Sillery - Phenomenology (OA2 Records)

Liam Sillery -][- Phenomenology – [OA2 Records, 2010]

With his 4th OA2 release, trumpeter Liam Sillery continues in the direction of his most recent album “Outskirts,” challenging both the musicians and the listener with intricate compositions and compelling improvisation. On “Phenomenology,” the band is reactive and supportive, while maintaining their individual personalities to constantly compliment the music.

Liam’s exploration of the sonic landscapes suggested by his compositions create a sense of melodic intrigue on the Kenny Wheeler-inspired “Koi” and the horn lines cartwheel through the backbeat of “Intentionality.” This recording no doubt helps solidify Sillery as “an important voice in 21st Century jazz” (Scott Yanow).
