An aurea classicism substantiates the high artistic level of a superb trumpet player, able to absorb and reshape the tradition of his instrument. The latest Bryan Lynch CD is a fascinating excursion into the repertoire of the musicians' musicians of the '50s and' 60s, including Tommy Turrentine , Idrees Sulieman , and Joe Gordon of whom Lynch offers unpublished scores. The ten tracks proposed revive a brilliant technique, which starts from a full knowledge of the past to outline a path of strong emotional impact. The intent is to bring to the general attention some unrecognized pearls of jazz trumpet literature, in the belief that the strength of this music does not reside only in the most celebrated protagonists. Above all the ballads enhance the poetic and emotional voice of the leader when he is engaged in the flugelhorn. As added value, a vibrant expressiveness that seems to summarize the essence of jazz: communication, swing, ability to convey deep emotions, enclosed in the unrepeatable moment of bewitching improvisational games. And this is precisely the legacy handed down by the great trumpeters honored by Lynch, who gives us an engaging and palpating CD like few others listened to in recent years. It follows a highly recommended listening, thanks to a group of rare expertise and compactness. ~ Maurizio Zerbo https://www.allaboutjazz.com/unsung-heroes-vol-2-brian-lynch-hollistic-musicworks-review-by-maurizio-zerbo.php
