Description
Release Date: 10/01/21
Get swept off your feet by the spicy rythms, luscious orchestrations and groovy compositions.
On ””Subtext”” guitarist Steve Khan leads a sizzling team of Ruben Rodriguez/bass, Dennis Chambers/drums, Marc Quinone s/perc and Bobby Allende/congas through some Latinized takes of post bop tunes as well as his own wonderful compositions. With guest Randy Brecker on flugelhorn, the band grooves on a fluid reading of Ornette Coleman”s ””Bird Food”” while Roby Mounsey”s keyboards provide red meat for Kahn”s fluid soloing on ””Blue Subtext”” and the spicy salsa-ed ””Heard.”” Some rich and luscious orchestrations frame Khan”s energetic pickings on the bopping take of Freddie Hubbard”s ””Baraka Sasa”” and the expressive reading of Wayne Shorter”s ””Infant Eyes.”” A festive ””Cada Gota De Mar”” mixes Khan”s clean lines with Gil Goldstein”s accordion, some hip coro and Mariana Ingold”s ethereal voice. Just as invigorating is a celebrative reading of Thelonious Monk”s ””Hackensack”” leading to a sensuous ””bait and Switch”” that closes the enticing album with confidence and style.
