Rodney Whitaker- Mosaic: The Music of Gregg Hill (CD)
Recently honored with induction into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences through his decades-long status as a prolific bassist and preeminent jazz educator, Rodney Whitaker also continues his role as a consummate interpreter of original music, notably through this fruitful association with composer Gregg Hill. Mosaic is the fourth collaboration between the two, and with his vibrant, working band - featuring vocalist Rockelle Whitaker, along with trumpeter Terell Stafford, saxophonist Tim Warfield, pianist Rick Roe and drummer Dana Hall - they imbue Hill's fresh, idiosyncratic compositions with fiery interaction, deep swing, wise decisions, and a forward-thinking sense of adventure. A stone cold master class - so heart felt and spirited it just transcends all boundaries. Killer stuff - Midwest Record "The variety is broad, and the band itself can blow up a storm!" WTJU
