CD Description Corban Nation is the third CD I have recorded with the Aperturistic Trio: James Weidman, Harvie S, Steve Williams. This time we were also joined by saxophonist, Steve Slagle, for three tunes. The energy this group generates on this recording is akin to capturing lightning in a bottle! Player and instrument: Larry Corban - guitar Harvie S - upright bass and electric bass James Weidman - piano, fender rhodes, Hammond B-3 organ with Leslie speaker Steve Williams - drums Steve Slagle - soprano sax on #1, alto sax on #2, alto sax on #8 Early Reviews: A strong set of contemporary jazz. Corban shines on guitar and he showcases his sidemen equally. The band is tight and everyone plays superbly. - Tom McCarter, KZSU Stanford, CA. New York guitarist Larry Corban presents a powerful release that seizes your attention. Corban undeniably is an interesting and technically gifted musician with a varied repertoire. Corban Nation is one of those albums that is a welcomed listen for any mood. And for that, the New York guitarist can only be thanked. -Leonid Auskren, Jazzquad (Russia) An effervescent release. The guitar man is joined again by some pals that have become quite at home with each other and this quartet plus shows they have their fingers on the pulse of contemporary jazz that swings. A solid set by pros that showed up to play, you can engage with this or relax with it at any level you choose and still find it completely enjoyable. Tasty stuff that's easy on the ears even when you press the repeat button and let it roll. -Chris Spector, Midwest Record Capturing lightning in a bottle, jazz played by some truly fine musicians! -Grady Harp, Top 100 Amazon Reviewer 5 STARS write your comments about the article :: © 2016 Jazz News :: home page |
