About the album

After 20 years on the move, including time spent living and performing in Europe, tenor saxophonist Gregory Dudzienski recently returned to Chicago, settling into a period of engagement with the city's mighty music community, and developing a cohesive group dynamic with like-minded colleagues. Finding bassist Kelly Sill, pianist Chris White and drummer Jeff Stitley, they quickly formed a musical bond that is evident on this collection of seven Dudzienski originals. Their dedication to the melodic, harmonic and rhythmic language of jazz of the late '50s and '60s, provides a substantial base for the group's explorations and growth. “A great warm sound and his melodic way of playing is all heart.” - Jerry Bergonzi
Nach 20 Jahren des Unterwegsseins, einschließlich der Zeit, die er in Europa verbrachte, kehrte der Tenorsaxophonist Gregory Dudzienski kürzlich nach Chicago zurück, wo er sich in eine Zeit des Engagements in der mächtigen Musikgemeinde der Stadt einlebte und mit gleichgesinnten Kollegen eine geschlossene Gruppendynamik entwickelte. Als sie den Bassisten Kelly Sill, den Pianisten Chris White und den Schlagzeuger Jeff Stitley fanden, bildeten sie schnell eine musikalische Verbindung, die auf dieser Sammlung von sieben Dudzienski-Originalen deutlich wird. Ihre Hingabe an die melodische, harmonische und rhythmische Sprache des Jazz der späten 50er und 60er Jahre bildet eine wesentliche Grundlage für die Erkundung und das Wachstum der Gruppe. "Ein großer, warmer Klang und seine melodische Spielweise liegen ihm am Herzen. - Jerry Bergonzi
