Paint it blue

CD album.

Mycket gott skick. CD, ACT 9243-2 (1996 / 1997). Trombonisten Nils Landgren framträder i flera olika kombinationer - här är det hans Funk Unit som backar upp honom i en hyllning till altsaxofonisten Julian "Cannonball" Adderley. I funkgruppen ingår bl a Per "Ruskträsk" Johansson, Esbjörn Svensson, Magnum Coltrane Price och Lars Danielsson + de internationella gästerna Bernard Purdie, Michael Brecker, Randy Brecker, Airto Moreira m fl. Utviknings-digipac."One of trombonist Nils Landgren's early inspirations was Cannonball Adderley's group. Paint It Blue is dedicated to Adderley with Landgren performing five songs associated with the altoist plus seven originals that pay tribute to Cannonball's bands. Some of the music is in the soul-jazz vein while other tunes (particularly the originals) are more modern, even incorporating a little bit of rap in a couple places. Landgren is a fine trombonist (sometimes a little reminiscent of Wayne Henderson) and he manages to keep up with Michael and Randy Brecker, who in this situation are superior supportive soloists. Without merely copying the past, Landgren expands on the legacy of Adderley quite successfully." (Scott Yanow, allmusic.com)12 spår; speltid 61:43. Begagnad .
