Eric Jacobson - Heading Home - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Eric is the real deal! A truly world class jazz trumpeter... strong, assured technique, a hip dark sound on the trumpet, and expressive without gimmicks. - BRIAN LYNCH. Through the of 2023's InchDiscoveryInch and tours of the Midwest and New York, trumpeter Eric Jacobson's rapport with his quintet of NY pianist Bruce Barth and the Chicago-based saxophonist Geof Bradfield, bassist Dennis Carroll and drummer George Fludas, has melded into a thriving ensemble performing on the highest levels. His eight original compositions provide the perfect vehicle for Jacobson's warmth-under-fire playing and the band's emotive presence, each perpetually on the verge of ascending even higher. InchHeading HomeInch is an intriguing celebration of friendship, exploration, and a shared passion for the music. It's a sonic journey that takes you from Milwaukee and Chicago to New York - ultimately leading you back home. Album Tracks 1. Survival 2. Three of a Kind 3. Manty Time 4. My Love for Amy 5.
