Randy Brecker & Ada Rovatti: Brecker Plays Rovatti-Sacred Bond

Trumpet legend Randy Brecker co-leads with saxist Ada Rovatti as they deliver some strong originals, bringing in friends and family. Daughter Stella Brecker is sweet as cider on the upbeat title track as Rovatti’s warm tenor and Brecker’s rich horn keep things cheerful. The remaining team of Rodney Holmes/dr, David Kikoski/key-p, Alexander Claffy/b, Adam Rogers/g Jim Beard/key and Café’ Da Silva give out a swinging time of Brazilia on “The Other Side Of The Coin” while Claffy’s electric bass taps into a plugged in Miles Davis for a gloriously murky “Britches Blue.” Rogers gets into a soulful mood along with Kikoski on “Reverence (to Aretha)” and the team digs into a nice deep groove for Rovatti’s tenor on ”The Baggage.” A cheerful earful.
