Sean Jones – Kaleidoscope (CD)
Product Details
By 2007, Sean Jones had already established himself as one of the most compelling trumpet voices of his generation, and Kaleidoscope finds him expanding his sonic palette by centering the human voice as a genuine orchestral instrument alongside his horn. The guest list reads like a snapshot of a particular moment in jazz vocal innovation, with Gretchen Parlato and Sachal Vasandani both on the verge of wider recognition, and Kim Burrell bringing a depth of gospel tradition that roots the whole project.
Sean Jones is renowned as a leader, educator, composer and lead trumpet with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, but with his fourth Mack Avenue release KALEIDOSCOPE, Jones spotlights vocals for the first time. Special guests include world-renowned gospel vocalist, Kim Burrell, label mate Sachal Vasandani, and rising star vocalists Gretchen Parlato, Carolyn Perteete and JD Walter. KALEIDOSCOPE also features Jones' newly expanded touring band: Orrin Evans (Piano), Brian Hogans (alto sax, flute, fender rhodes), Obed Calvaire (drums, percussion), Luques Curtis (acoustic bass) and Walter Smith III (tenor sax).
