NOJO w/ Sam Rivers

[pryan]

I've recently been digging this release from one of the better larger ensembles on the scene. Sam Rivers is the guest soloist on this one and is featured on every track. Interesting writing, textures, colors, etc. Some smokin' trumpet playing from Kevin Turcotte. This group is actually on tour right now (they played in Mass. last night and are travelling to Washington, D.C. today for a concert tommorow night). This album is not to be missed. Here's the website for those interested: NOJO

A friend whose tastes I trust also spoke favorably about this release. I will have to add it to the want list and pick it up at some point.

I spoke with one of the co-leaders of the ensemble this morning (Michael Occhipinti) and he mentioned that this disc was just recently released in the U.S.

Hi Paul,

Whoa! For a minute there I thought there was a new release of Sam Rivers recording with THE "NOJO"... Norah Jones, of course!

Wouldn't that be something!

Cheers,
