Description
'Sabotage and Celebration' is the fifth solo album from one of the world's most dynamic and original jazz artists, pianist and composer John Escreet. He is aptly supported by an A-list of preeminent creative musicians, including saxophonists David Binney and Chris Potter, who contribute inspired performances at the peak of their powers.
The album glistens from start to finish with the endless imagination and unrelenting vision of a truly singular voice in modern music. The seven original compositions by Escreet cover an incredible amount of musical ground. A string section is prominently featured as a result of his recent re-fascination with orchestral music; he seamlessly incorporates it into the context of a conventional quintet. And that's not all - brass, guitars and vocals are also layered into the proceedings in surprising ways, creating music of a larger scale.
Personnel: John Escreet (piano, Fender Rhodes), David Binney (alto & soprano saxophones), Chris Potter (tenor saxophone), Matt Brewer (double bass), Jim Black (drums)
With: Adam Rogers (guitar - 5,7), Louis Cole, Genevieve Artadi, Nina Geiger (vocals - 7), String section: Fung Chern Hwei (violin), Annette Homann (violin), Hannah Levinson (viola), Mariel Roberts (cello), Garth Stevenson (double bass), Brass section: Shane Endsley (trumpet), Josh Roseman (trombone)
