& Bunky Green - Apex (2010)

Extracted from my review for Notebooks Jazz :

"Listening Time Capsule, one of the great Elvin Jones albums he recorded for the Vanguard label in the 70, it is easy to repair in a voice that is original and challenging hike: the saxophonist Bunky Green . He had just returned to the studios a few months before (after ten years without recording) and its style was unusual and attractive. Not enough to cause a revolution and create followers, but to call the attention of musicians and fans.

"

" both saxophone style is different, though complementary, Green sounds more mature, how could it be otherwise, and Mahanthappa is at a full boil, attacking ideas from different perspectives. Apex is a work around, full of relationships and encounters. "
