CD Reviews

Swinging Saxophone!!!
Jazzer Man45 | Orlando, FL | 11/21/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Jeff Rupert heads the Jazz Studies Department at the University of Central Florida, in Orlando. His sound is fantastic, he's out of the Stan Getz//Lester Young tradition. Most of the tunes here are originals, and they're great! Very memorable melodies...



The band is killing: Richard Drexler on bass, John Jenkins on drums and the AMAZING Kenny Drew, Jr. on piano. Drew is a true virtuoso, and he and Rupert play four duets on the session. The Sam Rivers tune "Beatrice" is one; "I Loves you Porgy"; "Basin St. Blues" (with the Louis Armstrong cadenza!!!); and "A Single Petal to a Rose" (maybe the most beautiful Duke Ellington tune ever).



The sound quality is unsurpassed: Great production!!!



Rupert deserves to be heard: He's a fine saxophonist, soloist, arranger and composer. This is one of the best CDs of the year!!!"
