Joe Sucato - saxophone
Bells are ringing when drummer Jordan Young hits
the set with his debut release for Posi-Tone, aptly
entitled "Cymbal Melodies." Indeed, Young succeeds
in pushing his melodic message to the forefront
with skillful leadership, while he ably demonstrates
a total command of his own instrument. The
session sings and soars from start to finish, featuring
the B-3 wizardry and rhythmic genius of Brian
Charette, the sensationally sizzling lines of guitarist
Avi Rothbard, and Joe Sucato on sax for four tunes.
Critical listeners will certainly enjoy this flowing and
thoughtful program of swinging selections and
should agree that "Cymbal Melodies" announces
that Jordan Young is an important and emerging
new voice in jazz.
