NEW York guitarist Peter Hand leads
his big band through five originals and four standards with a little
help from the big, bold tone of tenor saxophonist Houston Person on
three tracks.
Person, who was also featured on the
band's first recording -- a 2009 tribute to composer Harold Arlen --
uses his soulful sound to drench the listener in blues on the
Arlen/Johnny Mercer pop classic Blues in the Night.
The tenor saxophonist is relaxed on the Strayhorn/Ellington tune Daydream and sets feet dancing on Bobby Hebb's Sunny.
Soloists trumpeter Eddie Allen and pianist James Weidman give Summertime some new life.
Hand, a solid guitarist, arranger and
composer, lays down some blues on Out of Print Blues and leads the band
through Latin-steeped Night Echo, both from his pen.
Tight arranging and ensemble playing give the material life. ***1/2
