Scott Reeves Jazz Orchestra - Portraits and Places - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Rock

Although New York City composer, trombonist & alto flugel horn player Scott Reeves has been writing for decades for groups such as the BMI Jazz Composers Workshop, the Dave Liebman Big Band, and groups in Japan and Italy, this is the debut recording with his own big band. Founded in 2008 and featuring top jazz artists, including saxophonists Steve Wilson & Tim Armacost, Reeves' writing draws on modern harmonic concepts, a judicious use of dissonance, wide-ranging forms, along with down-home unabashed swinging. His compositions have been described by All About Jazz as Inchrestless, full of color,Inch and from Zan Stewart of the New Jersey Star Ledger, InchHis music mirrors his aesthetic philosophy, which is also deep and reflective.Inch •InchScott Reeves writes fresher, more meticulous, more challenging tunes than many well-known jazz composers.Inch <> Thomas Conrad, Jazz Times Album Tracks 1.
