STEVE KORN - Here and Now [CD]

Steve Korn's debut album as a leader, recorded in Seattle, is a sleek quintet setting, with the two-horn frontline of trumpeter Jim Knapp and saxist Rob Davis, favoring understatement over bombast. Korn contributes three compositions and includes covers like John Scofield's V." and Tony Williams' "Pee Wee," a tender and slightly enigmatic waltz given the proper degrees of air and repose, nodding to the mid-'60s Miles Davis Quintet model." - JAZZTIMES. Originally released in 1999.
