Hurricane Bells - Tides and Tales (2011)

Samples

I braved the cold last night to see them for the second time this year. Well worth it, probably my second favorite concert this year, after the Feelies in Prospect Park. Bought their just released CD after the concert.

Quote

Anything that turns Coltrane's "Giant Steps" into a bobbing New Orleans second line march, complete with street whistles, deserves props. When combined with "Say It Plain," a tune full of growling, testifying trumpet and allusions to the rich canon of jazz gospel, it's raw fun. "The Burning Sands" then delves into more progressive territory, with a mix of easy swing, rapid tempo shifts, and dark undertones that evoke classic Blue Note.
If the music seems almost like a mini jazz history, that's because Barnhart is a scholar of the music. A professor at Florida State University, as well as the author of a book on jazz trumpet, he's also a 17-year veteran of the Count Basie Orchestra. His work here is steeped in the blues, soaked full of soul, and simmering with chops. He also brings out great guests like Marcus Roberts, Clark Terry, and Wynton Marsalis. ..http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=32930
