Description
With their fiery 2010 quintet release East-West Trumpet Summit, trumpeters Ray Vega and Thomas Marriott's inspired partnership resonated with jazz audiences as it jumped to #1 on the national airplay charts. Now with their third installment celebrating the fabled tradition of the Fats Navarro/Howard McGhee and Freddie Hubbard/Woody Shaw two trumpet recordings, the duo brings along Philadelphia's own, Orrin Evans on piano, the legendary Roy McCurdy from Los Angeles on drums, and Seattle bassist Michael Glynn for a set that ranges from George Cables, Don Cherry, and Mingus penned tunes, to originals by Marriott and a couple of Great American Songbook ballads. As with its predecessors, this album swings from Coast to Coast!
"...brimming with creative imagination, technical fluency, and a deep respect for the jazz tradition." - INTERNATIONAL TRUMPET GUILD
"...superb melodic interpreters...the session's program choices prove ideal for each trumpeter's upper register flurries, dips and octave leaps...Rather than an instrumental battle or cutting contest, East-West Trumpet Summit underlines the artistry that results when great musicians from diverse backgrounds find common ground..." - JAZZTIMES
