George Cotsirilos - Variations (CD)

The well-seasoned trio of San Francisco Bay-area musicians continue their longstanding partnership with a third recording of creative, and swinging, new music. Guitarist George Cotsirilos, bassist Robb Fisher and drummer Ron Marabuto explore seven originals by Cotsirilos along with looks at "Doce Presnca" from Ivan Lins, the classic "But Beautiful," and an original by the bassist. "If jazz guitar had an aroma, Cotsirilos' brand would smell of Yardley Soap, single-malt scotch, and unfiltered cigarettes in close quarters: dark and slightly decadent, full-bodied, and warm." - C. Michael Bailey, All About Jazz."This is about as tight a jazz trio as you'll ever be lucky enough to hear." - San Francisco Chronicle.
