While retaining the thoroughly modern post-bop aesthetic they cultivated over their first 3 recordings, the Halifax-based trumpeter Paul Tynan and baritone saxophonist Aaron Lington from San Jose, CA, decided to tackle the hard-bop organ band format for their latest. Joining them on 7 original compositions are guitarist Jake Hanlon, organist Tony Genge, and drummer Terry O'Mahoney. Through their composition and improvisation, the Bicoastal Collective creates engaging and passionate music. "Each complements the other in just the right way, while still showing a true command of his instrument with a very studied and soulful essence." - International Trumpet Guild."... fresh and vibrant...
