The pendulum does indeed swing albeit not without some tender moments particularly when Wojciechowski leaves his tenor on the stand and blows alto flute. He's a star on both horns which is why he is so highly rated in Chicago and it surely can't be long before he is equally acclaimed in Europe and the UK.
His sound on tenor is as big as Dexter Gordon was tall with an angular agility that was common to both men. On flute his tone is round and mellow - a thing of rare beauty.
The rhythm section of Davis, Sommers and Hall push him all the way and he seems to relish the challenge as they push him to the edge of the precipice and even when he does go over the edge it doesn't matter - he's flying!
He composed five of the eight tracks with Sommers contributing three (3, 5, 7).
It's available now on AFAR Music. Check out the track highlighted below then send a note to Santa. Lance
