Alto saxophonist Markus Howell unleashes a big
sound on his strong debut, "Get Right!" The album
features a well-balanced program of Howell's exciting
compositions along with a few tasty covers
thrown in for good measure. Howell is joined on the
date by front line special guests trombonist Michael
Dease and trumpet player Joe Magnarelli, and receives
solid support from his rhythm section of pianist
Art Hirahara, bassist Rodney Whitaker, and
drummer Luther Allison. This hard-hitting session
really swings solidly from beginning to end, and will
certainly delight straight forward jazz fans everywhere.
We feel confident our ardent and dedicated
listeners will elicit an engaging response when
Markus Howell's dynamic performances suggest
an earful of good reasons for them to "Get Right!"
