| "The essence of durable jazz is how musicians with authoritatively individual voices can collectively create a moving mosaic that has its own singular identity. That is exemplified here." - Nat Hentoff
As titled, this incredible new CD actually is a reunion of a band that first recorded for Chiaroscuro Records twenty-four years ago. This is no take-the-money-and-run super band recording. It's five of the greatest jazz musicians alive getting together to reunite and document the evolution of their highly acclaimed talents and musical comraderie. The performances are truly inspired and make it very obvious why these phenomenal musicians have been the recipients of countless Grammys and other prestigious awards.
Leader/Guitarist Jack Wilkins has been a mainstay on the New York Jazz scene for more than four decades, having played, recorded and collaborated with Mel Torme, Ray Charles, Buddy Rich, Manhattan Transfer, Sarah Vaughn, Tony Bennett and many others. Both Randy and Michael Brecker are household names among jazz fans throughout the world. Together and on their own, they have a legacy that exceeds all boundaries. Eddie Gomez first came to prominence during his eleven-year membership with the Bill Evans Trio, and Jack DeJohnette has been redefining jazz drumming since before he replaced Tony Williams in Miles Davis' band back in the Bitches Brew days.
At the time this Reunion was recorded in December 2000, his Whisper Not collaboration with Keith Jarrett was in the top 10 on the Billboard jazz chart. He's also on some of the most commercially successful recordings with Herbie Hancock, Pat Metheny, Michael Brecker, George Benson, Freddie Hubbard, and others. Reunion is one of those rare recordings that inspire the listener to just play it over and over again! |
