Details:
Vinnie Cutro – a powerhouse musician of vigor and invention – shines on Sakura, his fifth CD. Here – working with an ace crew of tenor saxophonist Jerry Bergonzi, trombonist Bob Ferrel, pianists Charles Blenzig and Mitch Schechter, bassist Jay Anderson, and drummer Billy Hart – Cutro offers six vibrant originals, three reworked jazz standards, and a vital interpretation of a Japanese folk song. The trumpeter – whose inspirations include Woody Shaw and Lee Morgan – talks about the improvisational and compositional concepts heard on Sakura. “While I always keep the basic elements of structure and swing, I’m experimenting more with intervals, like 4ths, 5ths, major sevenths,” he says. “Those challenging intervals create a more open, more modern sound.” Indeed, Sakura is packed with engaging, potent music, music that mixes rich melodic warmth with the bristling excitement of adventurous ideas. Among the many gems: the anthem-like title track; the surging waltz, “Three for Me”; the riveting ballad, “Willow Weep for Me”; the open-minded, funky “Big Chief”; the driving “What is This Thing?” This dynamic recording should give Vinnie Cutro the wider recognition he clearly deserves.
