Will Goble - Consider the Blues - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

For his second recording as a leader, bassist Will Goble is joined by drummer Dave Potter, his long-time rhythm section mate in Jason Marsalis' Quartet, master saxophonist Greg Tardy and the Atlanta-based pianist Louis Heriveaux. Through arrangements of compositions by Mary Lou Williams and George Gershwin, and originals inspired by the 2015 Nepali earthquakes, racial injustice, and other emotion-charged events, Goble presents the blues as an aesthetic through which all people can make their stories known. From the opening InchAnother Man Gone Down,Inch a traditional chain gang song with guest vocalist Tabreeca Woodside, to Goble's uptempo InchThe Ants Went Marching One By One But They Didn't Come Back,Inch the blues are captured with a variety of outlooks, but always through the infinitely variable lens of swing.
