Saxophonist Chris Byars always has a great way of putting together a set of horn players and here, his tenor is matched with alto from Zaid Nasser, bass clarinet from Stefano Doglioni, and trombone from John Mosca all given piano-less accompaniment from the duo of Ari Roland on bass and Phil Stewart on drums! At some level, the music maybe echoes specific 50s modern modes some west coast, some Gerry Mulligan styles but there's also a much more contemporary vibe to the recording, one that comes partly from the mostly original material by the leader. The tunes bristle with a nice assortment of colors, and never overstate their inventiveness and titles include "Nashville", "Arizona", "Keeper", "Moscow", "Third Culture Kid", and "Philadelphia". © 1996-2022, Dusty Groove, Inc. https://www.dustygroove.com/item/947779/Chris-Byars:On-The-Shoulders-Of-Giants
