Description
For Boston saxophonist Tucker Antell's debut recording, he looks to the rich tradition of the tenor sax/B3 Organ groups and his many influences and experiences with jazz, blues and groove-infused music he's spent the last decade performing across New England.
Antell's virtuosity on the tenor saxophone is undeniable, while his passion for this particular fusion of jazz and blues comes across in a fun and honest way: singable melodies, danceable grooves, and stretched, creative improvisations, with a few twists and turns along the way. From the churning shuffle groove of "Grime Scene," to the Cubist re-working of Monk's "I Mean You," or the unfurling slippery funk of "Madness," Antell's music strikes a fine balance between the head and the soul.
"Tucker Antell is one of a new breed of super musician." - Jerry Bergonzi
