  • Description

    Since his SteepleChase debut 'Whirlwind' (SCCD31811) in 2016, the veteran alto saxophonist Andy Fusco has been releasing annually a new album that documents this unique artist with big, edgy and sonorous tone to command your attention.

    The latest release here finds him in the company of three other horns: trumpet, tenor and trombone to generate vortical energy of an almost big band.

    "No turmoil here, as saxophonist Andy Fusco is very much in charge - heading up the group with a confident tone and strong sense of voice – which maybe also allows a bit more openness in the other players! Fusco blows alto throughout, with a rich, crispy tone that almost moves more towards a tenor at points." - Dusty Groove on 'Turmoil' (SCCD31843)

    Personnel: Andy Fusco (alto saxophone), Walt Weiskopf (tenor saxophone), Joe Magnarelli (trumpet), John Mosca (trombone), Peter Zak (piano), Mike Kahn (bass), Jason Tiemann (drums)
