Geoff Gascoyne - The Real Note Vol.2 (2014)
Contemporary Jazz | MP3 CBR 320 kbps | 58:57 min | ~135 MB
Label: Jazzizit Records | Tracks: 11 | Rls.date: 2014

Following on from the acclaimed 2012 Jazzizit release 'Got the Real Note' bassist Geoff Gascoyne and saxophonist Dave O'Higgins join forces again for another collection of catchy contrafacts (new compositions based on well known standards). Once again they are joined by Graham Harvey on piano and Sebastiaan de Krom on drums.
The CD opens with the burning minor blues, "Darkness" written by Gascoyne with a sound reminiscent of the Branford Marsalis Quartet. Other songs include the O'Higgins' composition "Shark Avenue", a new contrafact written on the jazz standard "Green Dolphin Street" that showcases O'Higgins' elegant soprano playing. There is a traditional rendition of Duke Ellington's "Sophisticated Lady" plus a lightning fast "Broadway". Other highlights include the contrafacts "Embrace" (Embracable You) and "Autopsy" (Topsy). Gascoyne's beautiful composition "Dedication" displays the delicate touch of pianist Graham Harvey and swinging drummer Sebastiaan de Krom flexes his jazz-chops on the O'Higgins composition "RSVP" (based on "Invitation").
