Jazz Ruler Type: Bebop
Performance: 4
Sound: 4
Score:
O’s Notes: The trio is Bill Washer (g), Paul Rostock (b) and Glenn Davis (d). They play eight selections, four written by Washer. Bill does a fine job leading the melodies with rich tone and excellent techniques. The band sounds larger than a trio as they bounce along through “Paging Mr. Morgan”, “Guitar Hero” and a fine cover of “I Didn’t Know What Time It Was”. This is a groove that will appeal to both fusion and neobop jazz fans.
