Luisa Sello - Biedermeier [COMPACT DISCS] date 09/09/2008

Hailed by Newsweek for his pure melodic genius, Harrell is widely recognized as one of the most creative and uncompromising jazz instrumentalists and composers of our time. He is that rare improviser who never resorts to cliche, a talent who seems to have an unlimited reserve of melodic ideas. On ROMAN NIGHTS, Tom Harrell once again exhibits the talent, creativity and touch of genius which led the New York Times, Jazz Times and Entertainment Weekly to unanimously proclaim him Inchthe premier trumpeter of his generation.Inch

His first album of new material in five years, Roadhouse Rules serves up Lonnie's own blend of blues, rock, soul and Louisiana Pop. Producer Jim Gaines (ZZ Top, Stevie Ray Vaughn - need I say more? Right there you know the guy is obviously a genius) was at the helm for these blistering studio sessions, capturing the essence of Lonnie's incredible live performance on tape. This record is being serviced to AAA radio.
