Dave Juarez -][- ROUND RED LIGHT – [Posi-Tone Records, 2011]
It’s all systems go as Barcelona native Dave Juarez takes us along a new Jazz tangent on his breathtaking debut release “Round Red Light.” This exciting musical program covers a wide variety of avenues as guitarist Juarez’s brilliant original compositions are presented by an amazing group of players, including the award winning saxophonist Seamus Blake, celebrated prodigy pianist John Escreet, bassist Lauren Falls, and drummer Bastian Weinhold. “Round Red Light” is definitely straight ahead and features some spectacular solo performances, but more importantly Juarez’s compositions are indicative of a more modern jazz sensibility.
