I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Rhythm People, by Eddie Allen's Push and it's engaging. Opening with title track, Rhythm People, Eddie Allen on trumpet works with Jonathan Beshay on tenor sax, Misha Tsiganov on keys, Tyler Bullock II on piano, Kenny Davis on bass, EJ Strickland on drums and Steve Turre on trombone to create a driving vamp. With solo's by Allen, Turre, and Bullock on piano and critical rhythm by Strickland, this is a terrific opener. Maurice has big band styling with marimba like keyboards by Tsiganov underwriting the track. A grooving solo by Beshay on tenor really opens up the track and a swinging solo by Turre on trombone really hits followed by Allen on trumpet who's crisp attack really snaps and the lush keywork on Tsiganov brings it all back together . Very nice. One of my favorite tracks on the release is Daybreak with a super bop feel. Turre tears it up with a ripping trombone solo and Beshay's sax work is really in the slot. Allen takes it home with a tight solo of his own followed by Davis on bass and Bullock on piano. Super groove. Another favorite, The Journey has a stellar beat and Beshay sets a terrific solo line on tenor. Turre on trombone lays down another super trombone solo followed by Tsiganov on keys. Strong. Wrapping the release is Eve's Deception, a high stepping track with plenty of high sticking by Strickland. With a funky beat and Bullock on piano, holding the bottom, Allen, Turre and Beshay share the lead and then trade center stage for a real horn shoot out. Excellent closer.
