Description
With his new release, 'Close Your Eyes', multi-woodwind specialist Bob Sheppard displays both his formidable musicianship as a instrumentalist and as a composer/arranger. Anchoring this session is top NYC drummer Antonio Sanchez (renowned for his work with Pat Metheny) and the superb piano and organ work of John Beasley and Alan Pasqua. Other key contributors on this inspired CD are trumpeter Alex Sipiagin and guitarist Larry Koonse.
Over the course of an extraordinarily diverse career that has made him a first call musician in the realms of jazz, pop and the studio worlds, Bob Sheppard has always let his array of saxophones, flutes and clarinets do the talking. His distinguished collaborations include eight years with Freddie Hubbard and performances with Chick Corea, Mike Stern, Randy Brecker, Horace Silver, Lyle Mays and Nat Adderley.
Personnel: Bob Sheppard (tenor and soprano saxophone, flute, alto-flute, piccolo, clarinet, bass-clarinet), Alex Sipiagen (trumpet, fugelhorn), Alan Pasqua, John Beasley (piano & Hammond B3), Larry Koonse (guitar), Antonio Sanchez (drums), Gabe Noel (acoustic & electric bass), Walter Rodriguez (percussion)
