Today it’s clear that David Newman has become one of the premier tenor players in genres ranging from soul, funk, straight-ahead and post-bop jazz. DIAMONDHEAD displays David’s formidable triple-threat skills on tenor sax, alto sax and flute with excellent accompaniment from keyboard great CEDAR WALTON and trombonist CURTIS FULLER. Newman’s playing remains at once forceful and delicate, straight-forward and recondite, showing the many facets of both the man and the musician. |
