Chegou no correio a notícia: há mais cinco CIMPs acabados de sair do forno...
CIMP 316 Burton Greene (piano) & Roy Campbell (trumpets) Quartet w/ Adam Lane (bass), Lou Grassi (drums) - Isms Out
Playing the music of Bill Evans, Jim Hall, Ali Akbar Khan, and its own originals, the Burton Greene-Roy Campbell 4tet goes pretty straight ahead but without compromise as four strong instrumental voices document their music following an East Coast tour. The expressions and themes are exceptional. It's been almost two decades since Burton recorded in quartet and over 30 years since he recorded with trumpet. This is Roy's first recording with Burton. Recorded June 29, 2004.

CIMP 317 Marc Pompe (vcl) with Curt Warren (guitar) - Nick Tountas (bass) Rusty Jones (drums) - Lost in the Stars
Marc Pompe is a Jazz singer. At 68 years this is only his third release and it's on CIMP, so you know he must be the real thing. Backed by a trio equal to his hipness, he makes memorable Pompe interpretations of 14 Jazz standards and 1 original. Hip, tender, and poignant: another original voice. Recorded August 30 & 31, 2004.

CIMP 318 Ken Wessel (guitar) - Ken Filiano (bass) - Lou Grassi (drums) - Jawboning
There may be better known guitarists but none of them get to the heart of an improvisation better than Ken Wessel. A sideman on other CIMP sessions, we've been waiting for him to stand up and do his own date. The anticipation is justified as you'll hear on this mostly original music which also includes "I Remember You" and "Softly As In a Morning Sunrise." Recorded September 9 & 10, 2004.

CIMP 319 John Gunther (bass clarinet, soprano & tenor sax) Trio with Leo Huppert (bass), Jay Rosen (drums) - In This World
This trio has been the core for John Gunther's previous four CIMP discs. For this date they return to the original trio root of 1997 and boldly address eight Gunther originals including the hippest cowboy type tune (that's also it's title) to come off the range in many a moon. Tucked in among the always memorable Gunther compositions is one by Monk ("Ruby My Dear"). Recorded October 13, 2004.

CIMP 320 Trio-X: Joe McPhee (tenor sax) - Dominic Duval (bass) - Jay Rosen (drums) - The Sugar Hill Suite
The latest from Trio-X has as its centerpiece "The Sugar Hill Suite," an exceptionally beautifully-structured 16-minute improv that is a stunning example of Trio-X's skills and the genius of the genre. Recorded October 19, 2004.
