Dmitri Matheny - Cascadia (CD)

Flugelhornist Dmitri Matheny celebrates the beauty, terrain, and expansiveness of his adopted home in the Pacific Northwest. With ongoing decades of touring, Matheny recorded his 12th album with a trio of longtime Seattle collaborators - pianist Bill Anschell, bassist Phil Sparks, and drummer Mark Ivester - with saxophonist Charles McNeal joining them from Las Vegas. Performing several inspired classics such as Tadd Dameron's 'On A Misty Night,' Coltrane's 'After The Rain,' and Jimmy Webb's 'Wichita Lineman,' adds depth and clarity to Matheny's six original compositions, and 'Humble Origins' by Bill Anschell. 'Perfect Peaches,' a lyrical bossa, 'Dark Eyes,' a seductive noir ballad, 'Evergreen Girl,' a soul-jazz shuffle, 'Bourdain,' a memorial elegy for a great man, 'The Lonesome Road,' a weary traveler's lament, and 'Cascadia,' the evocative title track, combine to create an emotionally expressive set that will be familiar to Matheny's many followers across the country
