CHAD ANDERSON QUINTET | People Here

Art Edmaiston-sax / Marc Franklin-trumpet / Chris Parker-piano / Jonathan Wires-bass / Chad Anderson-drums

• PEOPLE HERE | Recorded 11/2001, this recording features Memphis musicians Art Edmaiston, Marc Franklin, Chris Parker, and Jonathan Wires. Showcasing original compositions, this recording is reminiscent of the mid-60's BlueNote sound...driving, swinging, screaming and whispering at the same time.

Just Like Monk

• "This trio project suggests how Coltrane might have sounded had he concentrated his energies on alto sax and clarinet rather than tenor and soprano saxophones. Certainly during the opening clarinet feature, "Z-Moe" the repetitive triplet motif of this mid-tempo modal groove inspires flurries by drummer Chad Anderson that bring to mind Elvin Jones. Warner switches to alto sax for the rest of the session, establishing the stop-start ostinato motif of "Bridge," a piece that begins to suggest a predictable formula. However, this project intensifies with "Crankshaft," a duo performance that showcases a robust percussion dialogue between Parker on piano and Anderson on drums. From now on free improvisation provides startling proof of this trio's democratic creativity, from the intensifying dialogue of the spacey dirge "Spacesubwaysuite" to the fierce modal counterpoint of "Smiling Forehead" and the stuttering circular motif of the aptly titled "Just Like Monk." During his duo with drummer Anderson in "Taste," Warner shows rare command of post-Hemphill, post-Lake alto sax dynamics, confirming why this session is most impressive." - David Lewis, Cadence magazine, 9/2004

• "This music keeps you guessing where its going.  I was totally into it because I didn't know where these guys were going next." - Mike Martin, Springfield, VA
