Tom Harrell Infinity Quartet/France 2019

The long-awaited one-horn quartet that bears the name of Tom Harrell’s latest work “Infinity”, full of intelligence, will deliver the latest live performance of Harrell’s aesthetic, with elaborate ensemble arrangements and Harrell’s solos, in the highest quality sound. Appearing at! ! The new album “Infinity” has been released and is receiving rave reviews from jazz fans all over the world. From the latest European tour with this new work, the fans will be joined by a piano trio centered around Jonathan Blake on drums and Danny Grissett on piano, who have also participated in studio works and have been indispensable to Harrell in recent years. The latest live performance by Harrell’s One Horn on October 9, 2019 in Paris, France, recorded on a perfect high-quality stereo sound board with the label’s own careful mastering, is a must-see for all jazz fans. Must-listen editions are now available! ! In his studio works, Harrell not only composes compositions but also arranges them precisely, but when it comes to live performances, especially when it comes to one-horn, he fully demonstrates his masterful improvisation. You can enjoy Harel’s trumpet and flugelhorn, which exude a sublime aesthetic sensibility, even if you just look at the tone and melody. In addition, Grissett, who has established himself as Harrell’s regular pianist and is said to be the ideal fusion of jazz tradition and modernity, plays the piano at its best in his 40s and is wonderful throughout, even when Harrell is absent from the performance. The trio performance you can hear when you are there is also special. Of course, the rhythm section of Jonathan Blake and bassist Ugonna Okegwo and the Grisset ensemble are also outstanding. The sense of harmony created by this trio’s ensemble and Harrell maintains a precise balance, and the total performance, which is woven together with each individual’s free improvisation, also shows a perfect balance and arouses excitement. The musicians’ sensitive sense of breathing, tone, and dynamics of this four-person quartet is also exceptional. The set list includes numbers from his new album, and I am impressed by the breadth of Harel’s music, including Eastern European trad music and Irish folk-like songs that are influenced by Bartok. Delivering an exquisite live performance that is a little different from the studio work, with the highest quality sound, by the still evolving master Tom Harrell and the elite who are leading the current scene! !
