Pianist Mike Holober, with Wolfgang Muthspiel,
guitar, Tim Ries, tenor & soprano sax, Scott
Colley, bass and Brian Blade, drums. Produced by
Fred Hersch.
I really like the compositions
by Mike Holober,
seven of which are on this CD. He
is a talented pianist, and has organized and arranged
the music in an interesting way. Tim Ries is known for his
stint with the Rolling Stones, and Scott Colley
and Brian Blade are winners of the DownBeat TDWR
("Talent Deserving Wider Recognition")
Critics Poll. I enjoyed hearing Wolfgang Muthspiel
play last year at the Austrian Cultural Theater
(see Notes from the Apple, July 2002), and he shines
again within this group of musicians.
