Synopsis

Album Description
"A vet of some serious Big Apple big bands, Bixler takes to the streets on his own behalf with results that go way beyond downtown skronk and into some real creative but accessible pastures. Leading a handpicked crew of New York jazzbos, this is a voice you?ll be glad to have come across ? a great find!" - MIDWEST RECORD RECAP On Call It a Good Deal, his first indie label release, alto saxophonist David Bixler emerges as an urbane, highly accomplished bandleader and composer. In a quintet date of seven original compositions featuring his long-term collaborators, Bixler creatively pushes the envelope of mainstream instrumental jazz with hard grooves, highly inventive instrumental voicings, and a solid sense of swing. Since 1999, Bixler has held the lead alto position in the Chico O?Farrill Afro-Cuban Jazz Orchestra, performing at the famous Birdland Jazz Club every Sunday night. He has also toured with the orchestras of Tokishi Akiyoshi and Duke Ellington.
