Everyone can agree that things are really cooking when
talented newcomer Brent Canter unleashes his new album
"Urgency of Now.” Using a wide array of styles
and sounds, this gifted guitarist makes a clear statement
of intent with both his stunning musicianship and his
amazing collection of original compositions. Canter
makes a strong debut showing on a date that also features
the genius of tenor saxophone sensation Seamus
Blake, the explosive metrics of drummer Jordan Perlson,
and the combined harmonic sensibilities of organists Pat
Bianchi and Adam Klipple in supporting roles. More importantly,
while the music is certainly straight ahead with
some hard swinging highlights, Canter's "Urgency of
Now" is also eminently lyrical and exceptionally evocative
of a modern jazz sensibility throughout.
