It's not often you hear of Miles Davis complementing trumpet players, but apparently prolific studio player Mac Gollehon was one of the rare exceptions. Nicknamed “chops" by the jazz icon (according to myth anyway), Gollehon has a very impressive resume; arranging and playing lead trumpet on over 500 gold/platinum records, he worked with big names like ...

Ecco un CD che, a un primo ascolto, potrebbe essere facilmente trascurato: un programma di classici del jazz, riproposti in modo apparentemente privo di particolarità - né filologici, né rivoluzionari - da musicisti non di primo piano (vi svetta, e un po' sorprende la sua presenza, Amina Claudine Myers), coronato da un titolo (offerto dall'unica composizione ...

Quando trovano il tempo e il sostegno per realizzare un lavoro personale, spesso sorprendono per maturità e competenza. Mac Gollehon è uno di questi e Straight Ahead è uno ...

Mac Gollehon's "Straight Ahead" Virtual Big Band

March 1, 2011

Trumpeter-trombonist-arranger Mac Gollehon has done something that is far from easy to pull off.

Brass man Mac Gollehon means business on Mac Straight Ahead. The ten tracks on this album present Gollehon in a variety of settings and on a variety of instruments...at the same time. While the idea of overdubbing oneself on record is fraught with peril, Gollehon beats the odds. Sometimes he conjures sounds of a full, brassy ...
