Corey Coverstone: A Human Experience
ByA highlight of the album is the band's inspired rendition of Wayne Shorter's "Black Nile," where saxophonist Smith shines as a soloist and Coverstone shows off his chops, which are always used in good taste, and his great tone. Another standout track is the previously mentioned "Twilight Mist." The beautiful ballad features Politano's sensitive and subtle comping, as well as a beautiful solo by the pianist, and Coverstone's impressive brushwork. Closing the album is the classic "Blue in Green," which is dedicated (as is the album) to a former teacher, bassist Jamie Faunt, who passed away in 2013.
Short and sweet, the unique song choice and program of the album make it interesting, as does the fiery playing from everyone involved. Any fans of straight ahead swing will definitely want to check this one out.
