Purple Sounds

• Shrink-wrapped

Violinist Zach Brock follows up his 1212 Criss Cross debut <b>Almost Never Was</b> (CRC 1349) with the remarkable <b>Purple Sounds</b>, a heartfelt and virtuosic homage to the great violin-guitar partnerships of jazz history. Shifting from the piano-based quartet setting of the previous disc, Brock opts this time to showcase guitarist and fellow Criss Cross artist Lage Lund, whose effortless contrapuntal approach and beyond-belief soloing chops elevate the session from note one. They're joined by an energized first-rate rhythm section with bassist Matt Penman and drummer Obed Calvaire.
