Brendan Lanighan Octet: A Little Optimism

Playing tenor and bass trombone, Brendan Lanighan puts together a swinging team of Mark Filsinger/tp-fh, Elliot Scozzaro/as, Cj Ziarniak/ts, Colin Gordon/bs-as-ss, Nick Weiser/p, Eric Metzgar/dr and Emiliano Lasansky/ for a mix of originals and standard. He displays a clear tone on the Brecker Brothers tribute “All Day Breckfest” , gives rich harmony for “Little Garlic Knot” and gives a warm aria for “Spring Interlude” The team bops around Gordon’s alto on “Spring Is Hear” and the rhythm section digs deep on the title tune, while everyone gets into an Irish jig with guest violinist Willa Finck for “Finck Tank”. Tonic textures.
