Posi-Tone Records unveils a carefully curated presentation of "New
Faces" and keeps the musical message focused "Straight Forward." This
album is certainly not just another blowing date. This new music intentionally
combines the individual talents of emerging Posi-Tone leaders into a
cohesive camaraderie of artists that work together as a unified collective
to consciously create a series of meaningful musical presentations. This
"New Faces" group (trumpeter Josh Lawrence, vibraphonist Behn Gillece,
saxophonist Roxy Coss, pianist Theo Hill, bassist Peter Brendler and
drummer Vinnie Sperrazza) was carefully assembled and supervised by
producer Marc Free, given the collective mission, and then sent off together
to explore a wonderland of melodic mysteries and harmonic possibilities.
The entire series of succinct performances included on this album
are deliberately intended to provide accurate practical auditory insight and
representation of the musical aesthetics and operational ethos of Posi-
Tone Records. Highlighted by a sparkling diadem of performances, the
album's engaging program takes us on an entertaining musical journey,
and revisits some repertoire gems from the label's previous
releases, along with some fresh cuts from the artist's dazzling compositional
catalog. Sit back and enjoy the intelligent and beautiful sounds emanating
from these talented "New Faces" as they work inclusively to move
the music dialog "Straight Forward" toward a more delightful today and a
brighter tomorrow.
