Smokin' is right! Jeremy Pelt is no slacker, too. The jazz club Smoke and their Smoke Sessions Records are releasing a series of the best swinging jazz CDs/records. Vincent Herring, Eric Alexander, Joe Farnsworth, Jeremy Pelt, Mike LeDonne, Bobby Watson. What's not to like?!A smokin' band playing terrific music. Wowser
From the liner notes;
On THE BIG ROOM, drummer JOE FARNSWORTH leads an intergenerational sextet into a place of transcendent creativity and imagination. The album features a stellar cast of player/composers blending modern masters and rising stars: trumpeter Jeremy Pelt, saxophonist Sarah Hanahan, vibraphonist Joel Ross, pianist Emmet Cohen, and bassist Yasushi Nakamura.
I think many people are familiar with Emmet Cohen, but this is my first listen to the alto sax player, Sarah Hanahan. Check out her playing on Continuance. She crushes it. The whole recording is wonderful. Hi-rez 24-bit/96kHz versions available on Qobuz and Bandcamp.

Thanks gawdawg58! I am not familiar with this Scott Hamilton, just the figure skater. Love his warm and resonant tones. I looked for Youtubes of cuts from mthis album, unsuccessfully. I did find this however.
