Editorial Reviews

Review

Escoffery proved himself fast as a hard hitting sax ace that is one of the short list of young lions that you will be hearing from years from now.  A swinger that knows how to dig a groove without getting stuck in the pocket, he keeps the crew on their toes delivering a solid set that contemporary jazzbos will know is the real thing.  Solid work from a pro that has already made his mark. --Midwest Record Volume 32/Number 355

Product Description

Tenor saxophonist Wayne Escoffery brings it all back home on his latest release "Uptown," available now from Posi-Tone. With a strong program of new originals, by Escoffery and guitarist Avi Rothbard, and a few familiar melodies, the album also showcases strong showings by organist Gary Versace and drummer Jason Brown who really keeps the session in the pocket. Avid listeners will certainly agree that the album really swings and is a hard hitting performance that should encourage jazz enthusiasts to go "Uptown" again and again with amazement and delight.
