Aaron Lington's "Cape Breton" fuses the aggressive style of 50s and 60s hard-bop with the sophisticated compositional approach of modern jazz.
Bio / Background
The album "Cape Breton" features seven compositions by composer and saxophonist, Aaron Lington. This album also features the talents of Paul Tynan (Trumpet/Flugelhorn), Dahveed Behroozi (Piano), John Shifflett (Bass) and Tim Solook (Drums).
"Cape Breton" is a beautifully recorded small-group jazz album in some ways reminiscent of the traditional small groups of the 50s and 60s but with more emphasis on modern harmonies and compositional ideas. The strong compositions, masterful solos, and the use of the seldom-heard baritone saxophone along with trumpet/flugelhorn instead of the traditional two-horn lineup make this album a unique product in the sea of new music.
The Album was recorded in San Jose, California in May 2005.
Aaron Lington currently resides in San Jose, California. He holds a Masters (MM) and Doctorate (DMA) from the University of North Texas and is a professor of Jazz Studies at San Jose State University. Aaron Lington is a saxophone performing artist for Rico Reeds.
