USA: New music: David Gibson "Inner Agent"-POSITONE 2016

New music:
David Gibson "Inner Agent"

"Gibson delivers a winning program that references his influences, speaks to his love of diversity, and allows for the unexpected to enter into the equation. He comes off as an intrepid and indomitable spirit, but he's not afraid to also let his emotions show. Whether engaging his core group in dialogue, working with or against his guests or ceding the spotlight entirely, Gibson personifies leadership and puts the focus on the music. This is jazz with nothing to hide, made by a band with a hell of a lot to say." - Dan Bilawsky, All About Jazz

Trombonist David Gibson is clearly a man on a mission with "Inner Agent,” his fourth album for Posi-Tone.  Gibson searches the voices within himself to discover his bliss and shows a renewed sense of purpose.  The album features a diverse cornucopia of supporting talent: Freddie Hendrix, Theo Hill, Alexander Claffy, Kush Abadey, Doug Webb, and Caleb Curtis.  While the session showcases an exciting program of new compositions and arrangements as a swinging affair firmly grounded in the tradition, Gibson continues to reach ever higher for the blue skies of a brighter tomorrow.  Serious enthusiasts and casual listeners will certainly agree that David Gibson's new album succeeds in delivering a compelling and engaging message that speaks directly to everyone’s own "Inner Agent."

NETHERLANDS The Preacher Men ‎– Preaching Out Loud! (InOvation Music 2016)

The Preacher Men is a brand new Hammond trio including Efraim Trujillo on saxophones, Rob Mostert on Hammond B3 and Chris Strik on drums. Three top musicians sharing the love for the original Hammond trio’s from the ‘50s- ‘60s.

Individually each one of them made their mark as a jazz musician, as The Preacher Men they go back to the era of Blue Note and Verve, with heroes like Jimmy Smith, Jimmy McGriff, Lou Donaldson & Stanley Turpentine, the era of smokey jazz clubs in Chicago and New York.

The Preacher Men put on a steamy show, packed with craftsmanship and pure pleasure. These guys keep challenging each other to a point where even the smallest musical surprise can lead to an intense improvisation. Just for the fun of it!

Their debut album is called ‘Preaching out Loud’ and will be released early 2016. The album and live shows contain the band's favorite tracks from the '50s and '60s ('I want a little girl', 'The show has begun') but also new compositions.
