These seemingly disparate worlds live together in harmolodic comfort and explosive musicality that is also simultaneously big band and improvising chamber orchestra. Lavelle's familiarity with his band allows each instrumentalist's radiance to shine through via his writing and conduction. What's most important, though, is this band/orchestra/constellation swings and grooves whether they're taking you to Alpha Centuri or New Orleans. write your comments about the article :: © 2016 Jazz News :: home page |
