Iron City: The Business
By Track review of "Blue String"One of the album highlights is tenor sax titan Sonny Stitt's "Blue String," where the soloists ride atop drummer Alan Korzin's thrusting backbeat, as organist Dave Mattock comps the rhythm and provides a launching pad for the sequential frontline solo spots.
Supported by whispery sax parts, fluid organ voicings and subtle theme variations, Apicella conveys maturity amid a deep-rooted understanding of this format via brisk runs, linear developments, spirited accents, and groove-oriented jazz lines. Ultimately, the guitarist mans a course that should whet the appetites of a heterogeneous jazz-centric fan-base, enamored with nicely selected inferences to outlying genres.
