Gabriel Zucker: Weighting

Pianist Gabriel Zucker addresses soulful issues on his compositions with Tyshawn Sorey/dr, Adam O’Farrill/tp and Eric Trudel/ts on this three part journey. The “Part I. Soul” has chaotic angst between O’Farrill and Trudel with thunderous climaxes. Dramatic piano and crying broass along with screaming horns with flaying episodes dominate “Part II. Appointments.” Trudel’s tenor gasps  and O’Farrill sighs in resignation with eerie and dramatic lyricism by the leader on “Part III. Stories.” Lots of emotion and energy begging for resolution.
