Bassist Peter Brendler keeps moving forward and encourages
everyone to open their ears and listen to the
"Message In Motion,” his second album as a leader for
Posi-Tone. This exciting chord-less quartet date includes
front line performances by saxophonist Rich Perry
and trumpeter Peter Evans. Both musicians move
freely over the joyful combination of Brendler's solid
harmonic foundation and the subtle metrics of drummer
Vinnie Sperrazza. The album features several of
Brendler's new original compositions and is additionally
highlighted by the contributions of special guest guitarist
Ben Monder, who brings his unique approach to his instrument
into the mix on four tracks. Featuring a delicate
balance of modernity and nontraditional aesthetics,
the music of "Message In Motion” remains insightfully
straight forward, refreshingly melodic, and is certain to
evoke a wide assortment of bright moments in the ears
of discerning jazz fans everywhere."
