Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Keeping the audience satisfied and wanting more.......2003-12-22

This is a really great listen! The group plays with energy, finesse and inventiveness. The new tunes by Brookmeyer, written, amazingly, in the hotel room the night before, are particularly engaging, and Stephans and Warrington keep things swinging. Koonse is always a subtle and melodic guitarist. There are a lot of different kinds of jazz out there, and this CD ought to rank high among them.

5 out of 5 stars Artistry Meets Craftsmanship.......2003-11-24

Here again is the sometimes sparkling, sometimes subtle, always engaging fare we have come to expect from these four. This is music that is intellectually engaging, harmonically intriguing, melodicaly dazzling, and still swingin'. Among the many elements that make this session such a compleat experience is the carefully designed introductions for the pieces, that set the stage and showcase the motives. Then the listener has the delightful task of tracing these elements through the selection.

One of many reasons to listen to "Stay Out of the Sun"

5 out of 5 stars Quietly Beautiful.......2003-11-23

Bob Brookmeyer continues to offer that wonderful lyricism and wit for which he is justly famous. Here, he plays with a totally simpatico quartet and the musical result is memorable . This is a disc you will keep coming back to again and again! Hear for yourself.

5 out of 5 stars Review of "Stay Out Of The Sun".......2003-11-09

Bob Brookmeyer and Michael Stephans have created an exciting new CD together with Larry Koonse,guitar, and Tom Warrington, bass. The title track, Stay Out of the Sun, swings along full of energy and surprises, twisting and turning with joyous abandon. The opening and closing tracks are familiar jazz standards, approached in a totally refreshing manner. They serve as anchors surrounding the rest of the tunes. During "Longing" by Koonse, Brookmeyer is heard on both piano and valve trombone and Koonse engages the listener with a warm and lyrical guitar solo. Brookmeyer's unique sound and approach to turning a phrase is supported with great empathy by an outstanding rhythm section. This CD reveals new surprises each time I listen.
