Inspired by Old School 70's Kung-Fu Movies, THE KUNG-FU MASTERS explode with wicked grooves, insane atari style sounds and blazing fx driven horns!!!
Saxophonist Sean Nowell breaks through with a full complement
of tour-de-force performances on his latest release "The
Kung-Fu Masters." Pushing the boundaries of the genre from
straight ahead into the realm of Jazztronica, the record is highlighted
by a strong program of Nowell's compositions and arrangements.
With an extremely able crew of exciting sidemen--
with powerful frontline showings by Brad Mason and Michael
Dease and the stellar keyboardisms of Art Hirahara and Adam
Klipple, alongside the steady rhythms of wunderkind bassist
Evan Marien and explosive drummer Marko Djordjevic-- the
impetus and inspiration of the music remains clear when Sean
Nowell kicks up his chops and swings hard with effortless mastery
and melodic brilliance on his saxophone! Sean Nowell's
latest release "The Kung-Fu Masters" is a poignant and focused
collection of performances that will certainly entertain jazz
geeks and music enthusiasts with energetic amazement and
melodic delight.
