Combs, Cary Trio – Valencia (Evander)

Melodic and playful tunes from this SF composer/bassist’s trio.?? Phrisky phrases of klezmer, calypso and smart film music superimposed on improv jazz structures.?? Upbeat, light-hearted stuff led by lyrical basslines with a couple of sermonesque strolls to the more rhythmic sphere or the bluesy ballads.?? Contemporary jazz you can take home to mother.??
