Gregory Hutchinson – Kind Of Now – The Pulse Of Miles Davis [CD]

Description

Gregory Hutchinson’s “Kind of Now – The Pulse of Miles Davis” is a fascinating and highly rewarding album that breathes new life into some of the immortal classics from Miles Davis’ repertoire, such as Charlie Parker’s “Ah-Leu-Cha” or Miles’ own “Seven Steps to Heaven”, discounting the obvious while closing in on the deep cuts. The leader’s excellent drum interludes tie this hour-long program tightly together, adding a futuristic newness that’s all in Hutch’s time. The overall quality and density of “Kind of Now” has everything to do with the musicians involved, a great group of young legends and lions carefully selected by the leader, just the way Miles used to do: Ambrose Akinmusire (trumpet), Ron Blake (tenor saxophone, bass clarinet), Jakob Bro (guitar), Emmanuel Michael (guitar), Gerald Clayton (piano) Joe Sanders (double bass).
