trumpetAbout
Over the past several years trumpeter Sam Robinson has performedboth scheduled and impromptu gigsat various venues in the greater Chicago area.

The effervescent title piece, for instance, has Latin hints and showcases several band members within a dynamic rhythmic structure. Saxophonist Scott Angst blows his tenor with gusto and delightful abandon while Robinson embellishes the main theme with elegant restraint and muted tones. Drummer Linard Stroud exchanges exciting and thunderous vamps with the rest of the group before the concluding head. The contrasts are quite captivating. ...
