Description:

Born in 1947, veteran tenor player Jerry Burgundy's 2015 recording is now available. He says, "I've been lucky enough to have played with so many great musicians in the past. But I live in the present, and it never stops." Each work has been consistently released with a unique approach, but this one is more conceptual in nature. The Seven Rays" is a concept that has appeared in several religions and esoteric philosophies since at least the 6th century B.C. in both Western culture and India. The members of the band are a quintet formation with a two-wind front with trumpet and a rhythm section. The band consists of Phil Grenadier on trumpet, Carl Winter, a young pianist born in Copenhagen, Denmark, and the bass and drums players, all of whom are well acquainted with each other, as they also participated in "Dog Star," released two years ago. All the songs on this album are played in a straight-ahead, orthodox style, and the combination of the group is very strong, making this a recommended album for straight-ahead fans.
