Description
Since his SteepleChase leader debut in 2015 with 'Whirlwind', veteran altoist Andy Fusco has been releasing one album a year, to make up for the under recorded period of his career during the prior decade. For 'Remembrance', however, we had to wait a little over a year for Fusco's recovery from a medical treatment. He recovered and returned to record here arguably one of his best albums.
"Fusco possesses a tart, live wire tone and almost every note feels urgent and animated. His vocabulary is an invigorating extension of the bebop lexicon, with nods to Charlie Parker and Jackie McLean. Flinging short, disparate phrases into the air and miraculously forging connections between them, there's often an unhinged, thrill-ride quality to his playing. Even in the midst of a profuse, jam packed statement, Fusco never eclipses the rhythm section." - David A. Orthmann, All About Jazz on 'Vortex' (SCCD31875)
Personnel: Andy Fusco (alto saxophone), Joe Magnarelli (trumpet), Peter Zak (piano), David Wong (bass), Jason Tiemann (drums)
