O’s Notes: “When Words Fail, music speaks!” said Hans Christian Anderson. This point is underscored in trumpeter, composer and producer David Weiss’s latest release. It is centered on the loss of loved ones and associated feelings surrounding the events. This theme was further accentuated when bassist Dwayne Burno passed shortly after this, his last recording. The title track is dedicated to him. The music is modern jazz with dark blue tones and rich in complexity. There are eight introspective selections that speak volumes of passion.
