Triple Play Plus Three

Down Beat: 4 stars out of 5 -- "Working with trap set or bass is a nervy move, but smart, and not just because O'Connell has one of the strongest left hands in jazz."

Product Description:

Eight lively, virtuosic Bill O Connell originals, plus
two 20th century classics by Thelonius Monk ( Round
Midnight ) and Kurt Weill ( Speak Low ). Monk s
signature composition has been totally re-harmonized
here, and Paquito D Rivera s sweet-toned clarinet work
is the perfect complement to O Connell s lush chords.
Bill s colorful career is notable for his extensive
accomplishments in both Latin music and modern jazz,
from serving as Mongo Santamaria s pianist; through
his long association with flutist Dave Valentin; to
working with Chet Baker, Sonny Rollins, Gato
Barbieri, and the fabled Fort Apache Band; followed
by a stellar career as a band leader and solo artist since
the 1990s.
Aggressive grassroots media campaign by Jim Eigo,
Jazz Promo Services, directed at Latin, jazz, and world
music press and e-media.
