I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Conceptions, from Geoffrey Dean Quartet, and it breathes. Opening with Came And Went, Justin Copeland on trumpet has the melody, with strong support from Geoffrey Dean on piano and tight rhythm by Harish Raghavan on bass and Eric Binder on drums. Dean takes over expanding the melody with crystal clarity. Solid opener. Quiet ballad, Amidst A Dream, features a quiet yet essential trumpet solo by Copeland. Dean expands on the melody on piano and Copeland closes the track. Very nice. Springy, Song For Hannah is an adventuresome exploration on piano with a Latin twist. With light drumming and bass, this track works nicely. Prism has a strong driving rhythm and with fluid lead on trumpet by Copeland. Dean takes the lead with strong support by Raghaven and Binder making this one of my favorites on the release. Wrapping the set is What May Come with a calculated pace and well structured lead by Dean. Copeland's solo is subtle and isolated giving it a strong attack. Very nice closer.
