HEAVY MIRTH
JACK WALRATH
"The late Whitney Balliett dubbed jazz as 'the sound of surprise.' Well, Jack Walrath surprises us here on every selection. He deals in the unexpected and delivers it to us with a flowing flourish - and no concessions." (Mark Gardner- from the linernotes) "Jack Walrath not only displays tremendous trumpet playing, a rich and varied approach to composition and wonderful band, he also puts something into this fantastic CD that's missing from too much new jazz: a sense of fun and humor. That's not to say that it isn't sensitive and touching at times"An Hour Blessed" is arguably as gorgeous as anything ever recorded." (Francis Lo Kee allaboutjazz-New York) Recorded December 2008.
