Mark Morganelli - Speak Low [CD]

More solid, straight-ahead post bop from leader/trumpeter/composer Morganelli, whose expert accompaniment draws from the prodigious chops of pianist Kenny Barron, bassist Ron Carter and drummer Jimmy Cobb. Recorded live, the sweetly syncopated set soars highest with Morganelli's "The Jolly Jumper", Barron's "Dream", "Thad Jones", "A Child Is Born" as well as such standard as Kurt Weill's "Speak Low", Heyman/Young's "When I Fall in Love" and Gerhswin's "Summertime".
