Born in Philadelphia in early 1948, this pianist's play may best be described as of the highest quality played with tremendous variety. Marc Copland: a musician who plays with authoritative grandeur and enormous flexibility. And now here is a quartet stocked with surprises. Here Copland plays together with alto saxophonist Greg Osby (born 1960), bassist Doug Weiss (born 1965), and drummer Victor Lewis (born 1950).This quartet is one of the international jazz attractions of the year; this is even more clear after listening to this CD. They call their collaborative CD "Crosstalk" - and it contains pieces loaded with intensive brilliance and self-composed clarity. Price: $24.98 |
