about
Michael Musillami and Mario Pavone have been performing together in various rhythm sections for the last two decades. Building on the strengths of their many collaborations, including their current horn-less quartet with pianist Peter Madsen and drummer Mike Sarin, they sought to create a group in which the rhythm section was the focus and the usual frontline of horns played a supporting role. The fruition of that idea is Pivot, a recording that features a guitar trio joined by two talented horn players in ex-Ellington sideman Art Baron and longtime Musillami/Pavone collaborator George Sovak. Punctuated by plunger mute mastery and powerful horn solos, the rhythm section leads the action by consistently reinventing the propulsive forward motion of the music. |
