Noble Savage

JazzTimes
"…The rhythmic texture of these pieces is consistently thick and rich and can produce an irresistibly propulsive momentum..."

Product Description
• Hilary Noble’s music is a result of both strong roots in various jazz styles throughout the decades as well as deep ties to the island of Cuba. • This influence is further demonstrated by Noble’s role as a conguero, in addition to his saxophone and compositional skills, all showcased on this album. • Sensitive interplay, combined with excitingly intense Afro-Cuban rhythms • Noble refers to his music as "Latin free jazz."

Selling Points

• An Afro-boppin extravaganza heavy on the Latin propensity for percussion and Noble’s sonorous saxophone. • Noble’s choice of material-enhanced by the accompaniment of percussionist Bobby Sanabria, pianist John DiMartino, horn player Charles Neville, and bassist Boris Kozlov-is infused with a vast and colorful spectrum of sounds and composers. • "Jelly Roll" is inspired by Mingus, who in turn was inspired by the pianist of the same name. • "Rumb’azul" is a simple, melodic foray into Noble’s open and refreshing approach to Afro-Cuban sounds. • "Terra Australis" is Noble’s nod to Australia, his ancestral home, while "Dream Dance," an Andy McWain composition is understated and gorgeous. • Another release that furthers the reputation of Whaling City Sound as a fine purveyor of sophisticated songs.
