The rhythm section is poppin' and swingin' with truly great solos! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Wandelen' is a beautiful gospel tune that gives all the players a lot of room to testify.  'Sparkplug - She Came to Play' starts with some truly virtuosic solo piano maneuvers by Ted. The track seems entirely improvised - that is, until after all the solos are done. It is then you hear the wizardry of Ted Kooshian's arranging... 'Schiermonnikoog' starts with a compelling drum solo, followed by an intriguing blues head arranged brilliantly for the two... 'Tornetto' is an up-tempo swinger that reminds one of the freer stuff that the Miles Davis Quintet... 'Hymn For Her' is a beautiful ballad with lovely lyrics by Judy Barnett.  'Desert Island Tracks' is the album's sole Latin piece. The rhythm section is totally in the groove.  The introduction to 'Space Train' increases in speed as Greg plays his brushes on the snare under an interesting two-part horn melody, evoking an image of a train speeding down the rails. 'McQueen' is one of the most angular pieces on this album. The interplay between the bass\/ electric piano line and the violin\/sax melody is truly mesmerizing. And finally, 'Shatner' is in 5\/4 and is comprised of a gorgeous set of chord changes and a flowing unison melody. The synth solo uses a sound patch seemingly right out of the Star Trek theme song. Brilliant! \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Quintet:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTed Kooshian - piano \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn Bailey - trumpet (flugelhorn on Somewhere)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJeff Lederer - tenor saxophone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDick Sarpola - bass (electric bass on McQueen and Shatner) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGreg Joseph - drums \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlso featured:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJim Mola - vocal on Hymn For Her\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKatie Jacoby - violin on Hymn For Her and McQueen Summer Boggess - cello on Hymn For Her\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDavid Silliman - percussion on McQueen and Shatner \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCast \u0026amp; Crew\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDirector:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e        \u003cli\u003eHubub\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eWandelen\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eSparkplug - She Came to Play\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eSomewhere\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eSchiermonnikoog\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eTornetto\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eHymn For Her\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eDesert Island Tracks\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eSpace Train\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eMcQueen\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eShatner\u003c\/li\u003e          \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eAdditional Details\u003c\/h2\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Summit Records\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jazz\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRun Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 64:32 mins\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0       \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10\/07\/22\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 099402803920\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"SUMMIT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45624573722873,"sku":"SMT-803","price":13.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0815\/4889\/files\/SMT-803.jpg?v=1729877235","url":"https:\/\/mvdshop.com\/products\/ted-kooshian-hubub-cd","provider":"MVD Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
