Saxophonist Ralph Bowen reaches for new vistas and
surpasses himself with his latest release "Total Eclipse."
Bowen plays with remarkable technical precision and a
manifest knowledge of his materials. His sound is hard
and extraordinarily well-centered, his articulation sharp,
and his command of the tenor saxophone complete.
Nevertheless, the depth of his artistry is considerable.
Ralph Bowen is as substantial a musician as jazz has ever
produced. The musical program covers a wide spectrum
of styles and sounds when Bowen's brilliant original
compositions are presented with the able assistance of a
solid group of sidemen, including organist Jared Gold,
guitarist Mike Moreno, and drummer Rudy Royston.
Jazz fans everywhere will swing with intense delight as
Bowen soars to new heights with "Total Eclipse."
