Editorial Reviews
Southport, has issued what could be called the ultimate trumpet album. A trumpet lover's orgy. I liked this album and I recommend it.
Product Description
Bobby Lewis A 2 CD SET In The Forefront (S-SSD-0079) "A refreshing, imaginative, ambitiously conceived, forcefully executed blend of contemporary classical, jazz and rock idioms ****
Down Beat (Jon Balleras) With the 6th Southport release from trumpet/flugelhorn master Bobby Lewis, we go back in time for the re-release of 2 famed LPs from The Forefront ensemble, and the world premiere of sound treasures discovered in the Lewis vaults. "In The Forefront" is a 2-CD set that traces the sonic history of one of Chicago's master composers/arrangers and sound poets. A force on the Chicago and international scene for over 40 years, Bobby Lewis is a living history of jazz and modern composition. The bulk of this CD was pulled from two previously issued LP albums, "Incantation" and "In The Forefront," long out of print and rare collector's items, and unreleased recorded music from 1977. All material was recorded at the famous, and sadly now shuttered Universal Recording Studio "A", under the engineering and production direction of owner Murray Allen. These original compositions include the core ensemble of George Bean, Russ Iverson, Art Hoyle, Rufus Reid and Jerry Coleman with special guest appearances by Larry Novak, Cy Touff, Steve Laspina and vocalist Bonnie Herman. There has never been a sound as fresh and unique as this massive brass attack. Yesterday sounds like today, projecting into the future of jazz, with large ensemble brass execution! For over 24 years Southport records has recorded and produced new music from Chicago to a world market. We appreciate the support of all music lovers and media!
