Paul Kendall: Whisper Not

Warm toned tenor saxist Paul Kendall forms a peanut butter and jelly trio with B3er Dan Kostelnik and drummer Rudy  Petschauer for some vintage groovers. Kendall’s breathy tone and smoky ideas are a plus here, oozing on pieces like “Whisper Not” and “Speak Low” while gliding like a figure skater on “Ceora” and the bopping “Airgin”. Kostelnik fills the room with sounds ranging from baseball stadiums to skating rinks on “These Foolish Things” and’ Nardis” with the team humming like a 49 Buick on ”Quick Drink”. Dry rubbed ribs served on a Selmer plate.
