Description
One of today's finest trumpeters, Sean Jones has only recently stepped down as Lead Trumpeter of Wynton Marsalis' Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. For his sixth solo outing Jones has surrounded himself with some of the very finest musicians you may have never heard of, with front line partner alto saxophonist Brian Hogans who gives a stellar performance.
As has become evident over the course of his five previous albums, trumpeter Sean Jones is particularly adept at plumbing complex emotional depths through his trumpet playing and composing. So when he set his mind to recording a set of love songs, it should come as no surprise that he delved into the evocative nuances of love rather than the more obvious boys-meets-girl, boy-loses-girl generalities. "I didn't want to do your typical love songs record that just deals with one aspect of love", Jones explains. "I wanted to do an album that really dealt with a few different shades of love."
Sean recently stepped down from his position as Lead Trumpeter of Wynton Marsalis' Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, a position that Jones held for over half a decade. Additionally, he has formed a new partnership with Marcus Miller, joining the bassist this past summer for a European tour.
Personnel: Sean Jones (trumpet), Brian Hogans (alto saxophone), Orrin Evans (piano), Luques Curtis (bass), Obed Calvaire (drums), Matt Stevens (guitar)
