Trumpet player, composer, and arranger Tom Harrell is highly regarded, not for playing loudly, fast, or high, but rather for his extraordinary talent at fashioning ravishingly beautiful musical phrases with a wonderfully expressive tone. He is also a fine arranger, crafting scores embroidered with felicities of detail and a sense of inevitability. Teamed here with Venezuelan-born pianist Luis Perdomo, featuring the tenor saxophones of Danya Stephens and Mark Turner, the guitar of Charles Altura and regular collaborators, German-Nigerian bassist Ugonna Okegwo and American drummer Adam Cruz, Harrell and his associates emphasize the diverse musical influences of the compositions with a versatility that vividly displays their common strength.
