| Elliot Mason & Cre8tion CD Release Show Before, Now & After at Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola Jan. 23-24 On January 23rd and 24th, Elliot Mason is celebrating the release of his solo debut album Before, Now & After with his band Cre8tion at Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola. Elliot has been described as "He's unbelievable as a trombonist, there's unworldly facility, virtuosity and clarity in his playing, he can sing a melody out from the trombone; it's like a human voice the way he plays it" – Wynton Marsalis Before, Now & After. As the title suggests, the record reflects on Mason's most important musical influences, while adding a fresh vision and 21st century insight to them. This takes shape in several ways; in addition to brand new compositions "embodying emotions from favorite recordings, " he also explores specific compositions by John Coltrane, Duke Ellington, McCoy Tyner, Lee Morgan, Antonio Carlos Jobim. The album, besides the band (Elliot Mason, Sofija Knezevic, Dan Nimmer, Carlos Henriquez & Ali Jackson) is graced by a few of very special guests: Joe Lovano, Tim Hagans, Cyro Baptista and Brad Mason.
