Pianist David Ake unleashes his musical genius and
crosses back onto the scene with "Bridges." Ake succeeds
in making an inspired and bold statement on his
new sextet date, featuring trumpeter Ralph Alessi, alto
saxophonist Peter Epstein, tenor saxophonist Ravi Coltrane,
bassist Scott Colley, and drummer Mark Ferber.
The session features some hard swinging highlights, but
the music is also elegantly lyrical and clearly suggestive
of a modern jazz sensibility. With an amazing combination
of talents, brilliant performances, and an evocative
program of new original compositions, Ake's latest release
"Bridges" is sure to bring bright moments of intense
delight to serious listeners and jazz fans everywhere.
