Mark Minchello Quartet: The Flute Project

Pianist Mark Minchello leads his team of Leo Huppert, Pete MacDonald and Nick Scheuble through a collection of modern themes with the flute of Anton Denner supplying the melodies. With Scheuble’s drums out in front, Minchello and company swing easy on “Let’s Get Lost” and give a hip pulse to “All Of You.” Denner shows impressive buccinators on the assertive modal  piece “Black Nile” and the clever Afro Cuban take of “Serenade To A Cuckoo.” Minchello is in full fisted form on the Latin”Let’s Face The Music and Dance” and reflective during a redolent “You’ve Changed.” Mainstream melodicism.
