about
Bassist/composer Mario Pavone's 17th recording as a leader/co-leader, and his third to feature trumpeter/arranger Steve Bernstein, documents six new original Pavone compositions that feature his trademark style of putting the rhythm section at the center of the action and casting traditional lead instruments in a supporting role. Recorded in May 2005, following tours of Western Europe and the Greater New York area celebrating Pavone's 40th anniversary in music, Deez To Blues also features a performance of the Marty Ehrlich composition, "Day of the Dark Bright Light."
