Description
The debut album as a leader from Matt Brewer, the leading bassist of his generation, who has distinguished himself in groups led by Greg Osby, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Vijay Iyer, John Escreet and many others. His Criss Cross appearances on Mike Moreno's 'First in Mind' and David Binney's 'Anacapa' have also left a lasting impression.
On 'Mythology', the Oklahoma City-born, Albuquerque, New Mexico-raised Brewer leads a sextet with some of the fiercest individualists on the jazz scene today: alto saxist Steve Lehman and tenorist Mark Turner in the frontline; guitarist Lage Lund and pianist David Virelles as ensemble voices and featured soloists, as well as drummer Marcus Gilmore bringing a flexible, swinging, highly structured rhythmic vocabulary to the table.
With his mostly original pieces Brewer reveals an adventurous, lyrical bent as a composer. The band's uptempo reading of Ornette Coleman's "Free" truly catches fire as well.
Personnel: Matt Brewer (bass), Mark Turner (tenor saxophone), Steve Lehman (alto saxophone), Lage Lund (guitar), David Virelles (piano), Marcus Gilmore (drums)
