Description
For the past ten years saxophonist/composer/arranger/educator Chris Byars has passionately excavated and re-examined earlier gems of music by jazz's historical contributors such as Gigi Gryce, Lucky Thompson, Freddie Redd, Duke Jordan, among others.
For this album Byars penned nine original compositions as a tribute to jazz greats who turned 100 years in 2017.
"Chris Byars has done a remarkable job reviving these neglected compositions of Frank Strozier while also putting his own stamp on them with his inventive arrangements." - Ken Dryden, NYCJR on 'The Music Of Frank Strozier' (SCCD31824)
Personnel: Chris Byars (tenor saxophone), John Mosca (trombone), Zaid Nasser (alto saxophone), Stefano Doglioni (bass clarinet), Ari Roland (bass), Phil Stewart (drums)
