Alto Saxophonist Patrick Cornelius steps back onto
the roster with his latest release This Should Be Fun.
It's no joke when Cornelius stands up and delivers a
compelling program with the serviceable assistance of
pianist John Escreet, bassist Ben Allison and drummer
Mark Ferber in the rhythm section. For added excitement,
trombonist Nick Vayenas steps into the front line
for a few numbers and Cornelius reaches back and
pushes the intensity even further, truly demonstrating
his astonishing command of his instrument. Critical
listeners will certainly enjoy this amazing collection of
compositions and arrangements while Cornelius entertains
us and succeeds in reinforcing that he is a saxophonist
to keep our ears on in the years to come. From
the opening salvo to the final crescendo, This Should
Be Fun engages the audience and is sure to delight
fans of straight forward jazz everywhere.
