Out of the Pan

描述

Product Description Out Of The Pan is eight new tunes from the compositional pen of Wally Schnalle. This quartet recording finds Wally and his extraordinary drumming surrounded by long time musical associates; Dann Zinn on sax, Jeff Massanari on guitar and Jason Muscat on bass. These musicians have been playing together for a long time and it shows as they artfully make their way through this challenging landscape of hard blowing jazz, odd meters and funky rhythms. Review Schnalle can go from the acoustic straight-ahead realm to the funky electric realm without losing his jazz focus or forgetting that jazz should be - to borrow a term coined by the late jazz critic Whitney Balliett - the sound of surprise. --Alex Henderson, AllMusic.com
