  • Description

    The Ray Anderson Pocket Brass Band return with their first recording since their successful 1998 album on Enja. 'Sweet Chicago Suite' is a tribute to trombonist Anderson's home town and also features the trumpeter Lew Soloff and the drummer Bobby Previte.

    Anderson's trombone can also be heard on albums by Luther Allison, Bluesiana (with Dr. John) and even Hall & Oates. Lew Soloff started his career in the original band of Blood, Sweat and Tears and the "All Music Guide" needs a whole seven pages to list all his recordings, with amongst others Paul Simon, James Brown, Steely Dan, Miles Davis and Quincy Jones. Bobby Previte has continually played along the boundaries between rock and jazz and has recorded with Tom Waits, Sonic Youth, John Zorn, Charlie Hunter and Wayne Horvitz. Finally, Mat Perrine has of course a difficult time as a "virtuoso sousaphone player" (Downbeat Magazine) however, the master of his trade has already been invited to play on recordings by Marianne Faithfull, Bruce Hornsby and Harry Connick Jr.



    Personnel: Ray Anderson (trombone), Lew Soloff (trumpet), Matt Perrine (sousaphone), Bobby Previte (drums)



    "Anderson is one of the most versatile and prolific musicians in contemporary jazz." - BBC
