I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Unbridled: The Flying Horse Big Band Meets George Garzone, from The Flying Horse Big Band and it's melodic and fully of power. Opening with John Coltrane's Giant Steps, George Garzone leads the way on vibrant tenor sax, and a Latin beat with Paul Van Wormer of lead alto, Leon Edge on clarinet, Edmund Quint Johnson V on sax, Fortunato Occhino on sax, Colin Urbina on bari sax and Jeff Rupert on sax, Alex Kastner, Joshua mercado, Robert Schmidt and Phebe Rich on trumpets, Daniel Tenbusch on piano, HNoah Charles on guitar, Carlos Barreto on bass, Max Terechenok on drums, Daniel Parrish, Samuel Dufresne, Gabe Funk and Benjamin Fuller on trombone. Solid interpretation and cool opener. Hot potato, Chasin' Tail is really moving with Johnson really kicking it on tenor sax. Full horns and kick ass drums by Jamesly Jean-Mary gives a meaty background making this one of my favorites on the release. It Gets Better is a real swinger with a fine sax solo by Jeff Rupert. This track has a great groove, understated horns, and nicely timed drums by Terechenok. Very nice. Wrapping the release is a pumped up Slide Hampton arranged take on Coltrane's Impressions. Driven by Clarence Penn on drums and a potent piano solo by Richard Drexler and featuring Garzone on sax, going out with blazing trumpet line.
