Saxophonist
extraordinaire Ralph Bowen takes everyone back to school and puts on a
master class displaying his exceptional knowledge of everything jazz.
With a tour de force collection of hard hitting performances, Bowen’s
sixth release for Posi-Tone features the happening rhythm section of
pianist Jim Ridl, bassist Kenny Davis, and drummer Cliff Almond. All of
the musicians in the band do some heavy lifting behind the sensational
melodicism and harmonic inventions of Bowen’s impressive program of
compositions and arrangements. From the opening downbeat, through the
six part suite, to the final salvo, Bowen keeps the music moving
steadily straight forward as he confidently displays his effortless
mastery as an expressive and unparalleled instrumentalist. We are
confident that Ralph Bowen's new musical message will surely delight the
ears of serious listeners and bring a joyous shout to jazz fans
everywhere.
