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.
