Jorge Rossy Vibes Quintet 'Beyond Sunday'
featuring Billy Hart and Mark Turner
Last Show: Wednesday 15 th January 2020
PizzaExpress Jazz Club (Soho)
The ever-surprising Jorge Rossy! World-famous as the drummer with which Brad Mehldau redefined the art of the trio, he was first a trumpet player before switching for a time to the piano... And yet it is as a vibraphonist that he has recorded this new album, an instrument which for him is the ideal combination of the percussive nature of the drums with the polyphony of a keyboard and a true melodic dimension. Based on solid friendships, his Vibes Quintet presents an all-star cast: the refined purity of the American saxophonist Mark Turner, the startlingly Monk-like phrasing of Catalan guitarist Jaume Llombart, and the superlative rhythm section of acoustic bassist Doug Weiss and Billy Hart on drums.
