| Ellery Eskelin, Jazz Trash (SGL 1506-2) First release of individualistic tenorman's unconventional trio, with Andrea Parkins (accordion/sampler) and Jim Black (drums). Best of 1995, Jazz Times and Cadence; Best of 1996, Cadence and Jazz Magazine (France).
“As radical and questioning as elements of Jazz Trash are, the disc is as imbued with jazz life. Eskelin's personal compositional vision, his supple phrasing and gorgeous tenor sound all qualify him as a major player in today's creative music....One of the great emergent talents of our time.” John Corbett, Down Beat
“A display of edgy virtuosity that is constantly unpredictable, a mix of eerie rhythms and hair-raising playing....Highly recommended.” Jerome Wilson, Option |
