Tom Harrell, unlike most of today's trumpeters, blows you away with a full and even trumpet and flügelhorn tone that emphasizes hitting the right note instead of the high note. That quality has earned him a loyal following among the cream of today's musicians, as evidenced by the all-stars assembled on his third release for RCA, featuring his big-band compositions and arrangements. Joined by an array of heavyweights, including drummer Carl Allen, trombonist Conrad Herwig, tenor saxophonist Don Braden, and producer Ebb Belden, Harrell's swinging syncretism of Clifford Brown's precision, Chet Baker's lilting lyricism, and Donald Byrd's flights float over ethereal, harmonic waves reminiscent of Gil Evans's evocative voicings and the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orchestra's power. The standards "Autumn Leaves," "Dream," and "Chasin' the Bird" dig up mounds of buried improvisational treasure, with Harrell out in front with his less-is-more solos. The fanfare-ish "Shapes," the neo-hip-hop backbeat of "Daily News," the Brazilian-breezed bossa nova on "Sao Paulo," the urbane blues of "Train Shuffle," and the Wayne Shorter-like title track show that Harrell's composition is a direct extension of his playing, which communicates without complication. A rare thing these days. --Eugene Holley Jr.
From Jazziz
The title track of Tom Harrell's first outing as a big-band leader offers opening notes and a solo that should further his reputation as one of the jazz world's most revered brass men. His flugelhorn sound is gently probing and burnished in tone. Its resonance hangs in the air - and in our ears - long after the tune has expired. Its warmth and room-filling presence demand an emotional response. The same might be said for the sound of the powerhouse, 18-piece ensemble Harrell assembled for this set of originals (some dating back to the '60s) and of interpretations of cherished favorites. Under Harrell's leadership, his ensemble - highlighted by tenorman Don Braden and pianist Xavier Davis - seems to extend his own measured, artful approach to the flugelhorn. However structurally conventional the arrangements may be, their soft-hued nature is refreshing amidst today's brassy, swing-crazed big bands.
First, the familiarities: "Autumn Leaves," big and bouncy, gives tenor saxophonist Alex Foster room to romp before the chart explodes into trumpet shakes and ends with a pensive reverie. Johnny Mercer's "Dream" is a lush reading of a gorgeous theme, flickering with constant, clever shaping and reshaping. Charlie Parker's "Chasin' the Bird," opened with a beefy Kenny Davis bass line, intermingles woodwinds with low and high brass for a twisting, rambunctious take on the melody line and eventually gives way to an incandescent, deftly constructed Harrell trumpet solo.
"Shapes," the first track, comes on like a wind symphony and shifts into a twisting theme before opening up for improvisations by Foster, Harrell, Davis, and drummer Carl Allen. "Daily News" features Harrell's flugel bouncing off rising and falling tides of horns. "São Paulo" is a light and breezy bossa. "Train Shuffle" sends us home with chugging rhythms and particularly inquisitive solos by trombonist Conrad Herwig and Braden. It's a bluesy, evocative end to a journey that's invigorating and full of promise for the next trip of its kind.

Product Description
What do you get when you mix a father who is a Rhythm and Blues guitar player, a house that always had something soulful with a groove playing in the background, and a mother who taught her only child how to sing harmonies, sitting around the dinner table? Miles Roy-Rogers (a.k.a. Fundamental Sound) was born June 24, 1977 in Ashland Oregon, and literally took his first breath, then began singing and creating wicked grooves! Family friend and neighbor Todd Barton (Resident Composer for the Oregon Shakespeare Festival) would synthesize sounds and test them on young Miles to see what kind of emotional reaction they d evoke; Scary, Fun, Sad, etc. This relationship with Todd developed into a full blown mentorship in High School, and continues to this day. Listening to the home grown samples on Mirror of Time leaves little doubt that Todd s synthesizers had a strong influence on Mile s work. Through Todd, Miles was introduced to Jeff Stolet (Philip H. Knight Professor of Music, and Director of Future Music Oregon) whose Future Music Oregon program associated with the Music Technology track of the University of Oregon School of Music, where Miles got his secondary education. While attending the U of O, Miles answered a flyer that a band put out looking for a Reggae Keyboardist. Band Leader Bibs Goff (More Time), a staple of the Oregon reggae community, took Miles under his wing. With the expert guidance of Bibs, Miles learned how to sit deep in the pocket of a reggae groove. Pushing the Bubble, Piano bang, and lead lines for More Time, Miles came into contact with many of Reggae Music s Forefathers. Opening for bands like the Wailers (Bob Marley s Band), Steel Pulse, Burning Spear, Toots and the Maytals, The Abyssinians, Culture, Pato Banton, Third World, Eek-A-Mouse and many more, lead Miles to some crucial conversations and realizations. Miles would sit for hours listening to the opinions, philosophy and even theology of these Forefathers. These conversations heavily shaped the thoughts and compositions of Miles. Eventually Miles was hired to play keyboards and had the opportunity to go on a small tour of the Pacific Northwest as a part of the backing band for Apple Gabriel (Founding member of the Israel Vibration). Yearning to learn and discover more, after Graduating from the University of Oregon with a Degree in Music Technology and a Minor in Business, Miles realized he would need to relocate to a bigger city where he could advance his education and become more skilled in the studio. Miles headed to the heart of the music-meets-technology scene, Southern California. After just over a year in Los Angeles, he found himself working as a Studio Engineer for the University of Southern California (USC) Cinema-Sound Department. This was exactly the opportunity and education Miles was looking for, and the best part was... he was getting paid! For the next 3 years, Miles honed his craft of recording and mixing for both music and Film at USC. During his current stint in LA, Miles has played with a few local reggae bands: The Legalizers, Bonsai Tribe, and The Fire Burn Crew (Backing Shine Head). Miles spends most of his time in his home studio in North Hollywood, CA, that he lovingly refers to as The Asylum , the walls of which are covered with recycled down comforters. Miles told me Padded walls are one way to always keep me wondering whether I m crazy or not. Either way, let s hope wherever Miles Rogers of Fundamental Sound is locked up, his musical instruments and recording equipment are only an arm s length away!
