“….This is exciting, entrancing and vigorous music, filled with nuances and subtleties… As for contemporary jazz trumpet playing it doesn’t come any better than the mature style purveyed by Marcus Printup, one of the finest of our times” (Mark Gardner- from the liner notes)
On Printup’s previous album SCCD 31626 Bird Of Paradise JazzTimes’ George Kanzler commented, “Printup and Nash solo with more tonal and timbrel variety, sacrificing sheer velocity for expressive sounds and fewer notes. It’s a creatively fertile way to revisit Bird’s music.” |
