CD Review: Ian O'Beirne - Glasswork

Ian O'Beirne (alt/ten); Tim Wendel (gtr); Tim Brey (Fender Rhodes); Kurt Kotheimer (dbl. bass.); Matt Scarano (dms).
O'Beirne, Philadelphia based saxist/composer/arranger/educator, in a parallel universe plays baritone with a touring Glenn Miller Orchestra. He will do it well. However, although there's no String of Pearls on this disc there are plenty of gems not least the leader's alto and tenor sax work. His playing flows with an appealing fluidity without resorting to torrential outpourings of sound. This is one for those who prefer a melodic line with some often unexpected intervals thrown in just to add that vital element of surprise so essential to a good jazz performance.
Guitarist Wendell weaves in and out creating a rich tapestry of his own and whilst I'm not always a fan of Rhodes pianos Brey gets just the right sound for this ensemble. Piano and guitar combine well with bass and drums giving O'Beirne the perfect cushion.
 Ian O'Beirne - Glasswork can be obtained by following the above link.
