Description
The Messenger, the new recording by flutist GeraldÃÂ Beckett, ('One of the top flute players in the modern jazz scene' - ScottÃÂ Yanow jazz critic), is non-stop enjoyment and Becket's most excitingÃÂ release to date. With a mixture of originals and covers by well known jazzÃÂ greats, it takes the listener on a musical journey from foot patting hardÃÂ swing to finger snapping Latin grooves. The CD cover alone indicates thereÃÂ is something serious about to happen. The ensemble of musicians on thisÃÂ
project are among some of the best in the Bay Area, such as Bill KeaneyÃÂ (Jaco Pastorius, Brian Melvin), Steve McQuarry (Nathan East, DizzyÃÂ Gillespie)....etc. So, sit back, relax, and be prepared to be entertainedÃÂ from start to finish.
