Bill Anschell, Brent Jensen and Chris Symer -][- BLUEPRINTS –Mp3– [Origin Records, 2012] –

As a follow-up to their lauded duo recording, “We Couldn’t Agree More,” soprano saxophonist Brent Jensen and pianist Bill Anschell decided to enhance their tonal palette, eliciting help from bassist Chris Symer as they explore a set of jazz standards with an uninhibited, free-wheeling interplay. Reminiscent of the great duo and trio recordings of Lee Konitz, Jimmy Giuffre and the like, their in-the-moment creations are singular and timeless. “We Couldn’t Agree More” consistently throws sparks at the listener and comes with about as high a recommendation as I can give an album.? – Chris Robinson, Earshot Jazz.

“Freewheeling and solid.” —C. MICHAEL BAILEY, ALL ABOUT JAZZ

All About Jazz referred to Todd Bishop’s Serge Gainsbourg tribute, “69 Annee Erotique,” as “…beautiful decadence, brilliant and bright.” Here, he features a set of rarely heard gems from Ornette Coleman’s catalog on his latest in a series paying respect to some of the music world’s more iconic and intriguing figures.

In this free-spirited session, they cover compositions such as “Friends And Neighbors,” “Comme Il Faut,” “Country Town Blues,” along with a beautifully unraveling, and unavoidable, take of the classic “Lonely Woman,” drummer Bishop is joined by the brilliant Brazilian pianist Weber Iago, bassist Bill Athens, and a frontline of Richard Cole and Tim Willcox, each playing multiple woodwinds except the alto saxophone. -[Origin Arts]-
