Album DescriptionYou can tell a lot about a cat by the company he keeps. In the case of pianist and composer Carli Muñoz ?whose new album Maverick on his Pelosenel Q Lo Records features bass master Eddie Gomez and drummer extraordinaire Jack DeJohnette along with guest artists Don Byron and David Sanchez ? his rarefied accompanists suggest an artist who should be much better known. A quick spin of the disc confirms the suspicion, as Muñoz instantly establishes himself as a player and composer who confidently holds his own. In short, Maverick announces in no uncertain terms that Muñoz may well be the most exciting fifty-something improviser you?ve never heard of.
