Bobby Selvaggio - Short Stories [CD]

For his debut on Origin Records - his 7th album overall - the Cleveland-based alto saxophonist takes his top-flight quartet on an inspired ride through 9 of his original compositions. Impeccable and swinging, pianist Aaron Goldberg, bassist Ashley Summers and drummer Chris Baker provide spirited collaboration, helping to create a highly musical and timeless recording. "Selvaggio let's the influence of past greats like Cannonball and Phil Woods glow through his playing but also makes it quite clear that his own voice is creative and original." - All About Jazz NY."... music that's thoughtful, slyly subversive, perhaps a wee bit delicate, but hardly conventional." - DownBeat
