October 1991
I don’t usually care for MTT’s conducting but this recording is quite good.
I have long been amused by the rhythm of his name; apropos for a conductor.

Tuatara - Underworld (Qobuz)
”Underworld is hard to categorize or label. The record is a true fusion, bringing in elements of jazz, rock, lounge, and world music. The band’s new album utilizes the talents of its versatile music veterans to combine innovative jazz sounds and a rumbling rhythm section. Tuatara’s songs are led by the undercurrent of the talented drumming of Martin, who uses several different percussion instruments on the album, and accented by saxophone virtuoso Skerik, who often gives the album a mysterious noir vibe.”
”The band’s talents are highlighted by songs like “The Skeleton Getdown,” which begins with a great drum intro from Martin. On the fittingly-named “Enchantment,” the vibraphone, guitars and strings draw you in for a seductive, yet slightly melancholic, track. Meanwhile, “Descension” is showcased by a cool, rumbling bass line. Underworld ‘s tracks all feature clean, crisp production: the album was mixed by Seattle legend Jack Endino”
I am drawn to his style of trumpet playing…almost Miles Davis type.
Spinning the new Piet Verbist Quartet CD “Suite Reunion” this morning. Excellent jazz to start a jazzy day.
Joe Henderson, “Live at the Lighthouse” Milestone Records, from “The Milestone Years” box set.
