Tenor saxist Alex Weitz drinks deep from the Sonny Rollins well, as his tone has the same deep growl, and he uses it well with the flexible post bop team of Tal Cohen/p, Ben Tiberio/b and Michael Piolet/dr for this collection of originals. He’s got a nice swagger on “Did You Know” and knows how to control the dynamics as he and the rhythm team mix up the pace of pieces like “Outer Noise” and “Equilibrium” like a veteran junk ball pitcher. The team can also dig in deep as on “Azelia’ while Cohen leads the band to a dramatic climax on “Song For Peace Pt II.” Weitz shows his wares on a glorious aria as he duets with Cohen on “Luma” and sounds fragile as he reaches high and grabs it on “Song For Peace Pt I.” This guy’s got some muscle!
