Tune
in to the tasteful stylings of guitarist Will Bernard on his latest
effort "Out & About." Employing a wide palette of genres and
sounds, this gifted instrumentalist makes a bold statement of purpose
with both his stunning musicianship and his new program of original
compositions. Bernard's melodicism shines throughout the session with
able assistance of some of the heaviest cats on the scene today,
including the collective genius of bassist Ben Allison, organist Brian
Charette, drummer Allison Miller, and tenor saxophone sensation John
Ellis. While the session is definitely straight ahead and features some
hard swinging highlights, the music is also elegantly lyrical and
brilliantly evocative of a more modern jazz sensibility.
