Spike Wilner Trio Contrafactus: The Children and the Warlock

Pianist Spike Wilner and his team of Paul Gill/b and Anthony  Pinciotti/dr bring in tenor sax legend George Garzone for a strong and assertive session of originals and clever covers. Garzone’s own “Hey, Open Up!” has him long boarding over Gill’s deep groove, while Wilner and Pinciotti drive hard on the modal “Miles’ Mode”. Garzone is gentle as he sways over Pincotti’s brushes on the gentle waltz of “Theme For Earnie” while he plays with harmonics on the assertively feisty “Moment to Moment”. A pair of duets between Wilner and Garzone have you begging for more, with a lovely rubatto’d “Benediction” and conversational improve of “Re_Solution”. Tenor gladness.
