Title: Hard Hittin At The Bird's Eye Artist: Jim Rotondi & the Loop Label: Sharp Nine Product Type: COMPACT DISCS UPC: 601917105026 Genre: Jazz Release Date: 2013-04-16 Number of Discs: 1
Sharp Nine Records is pleased to present the debut recording of a hot new organ quartet, the Loop, led by hard bop trumpet master Jim Rotondi and assisted on the front line by his longtime partner in jazz pyrotechnics, Eric Alexander. This live date was recorded at the Bird's Eye Jazz Club in Basel, Switzerland during the band's initial European tour in early 2012 and features the same hard-hitting, hard-swinging vibe jazz fans have come to expect from these two horn masters' domestic exploits. Ably assisted by Renato Chicco on organ and up-and-coming drummer Bernd Reiter, this CD is a 50/50 mix of great standards and originals.
