Saxophonist Tom Tallitsch shares his feelings with
an abiding sense of " Gratitude" on his fourth release
for Posi-Tone. Joining Tallitsch on the date is
the wonderfully solid rhythm section of pianist Jon
Davis, bassist Peter Brendler, and drummer Rudy
Royston. Special guest and fellow label mate Brian
Charette drops in to add some additional organ flavor
to two tracks. Gratitude features an exciting
program of original compositions, along with Tom's
new arrangements of a few classics, and the whole
session swings quickly into action and shines with
bright moments. As both a saxophonist and a
band leader, Tallitsch has clearly shifted his musical
vibrations onto another level and this set of stunning
performances should encourage jazz enthusiasts
to Tallitsch's musical message of "Gratitude"
with amazement and delight.
