The Timeless All Stars

The "Timeless All Stars" were originally drawn together as an 'All Star' group; engaged by a European Record Label to make a 'stellar' recording for them. What followed was that this group then became a major 'drawing card' for Jazz salons around the World, but never recorded here on 'home soil'. This particularly singular 'outing' changed all that; this session not only marks the debut recording of this group on American soil - but it also features the recording debut of new 'group-member'; Trombonist Steve Turre.

This Group has the unique distinction of being entirely made up of Master Musicians, Leaders and Composers, each one all in his own right. Whilst each of the 'All Stars' sustains a reputation and an audience for their own, highly personalized style of playing, they are all basically 'Hard-boppers' at heart, which is no crime when one knows just how to blend the right notes as well as these men do; these tenured 'All Stars' have attained a rare sense and measure of longevity.

One of the keys to the popularity of this band is in its' distinctive sound; the smoothing of the 'hard-edged', dynamic ensemble passages, whilst always retaining the lush voices of each exponent. "The Timeless All Stars" treat the listener to a constantly shifting montage of tones; which seem to simultaneously both exhault, and extinguish the senses; it's a kind of simmering fire.....
