The Heart of Carolina Jazz Orchestra w/Special Guests HOLIDAY GOSPEL and BIG BAND CONCERT Nov. 12, Sanford www.carolinajazz.com
NORTH CAROLINA JAZZ REPERTORY ORCHESTRA CONCERT Dec. 10 at UNC-Chapel Hill www.ncjro.org
"Breakaway", is the new CD by the Gregg Gelb Jazz Quartet. The playing and writing of Gregg is at his best plus there is fine accompanying from Steve Anderson on piano, Steve Haines on bass, and Ben Jensen on drums.
In a 4/19/09 review of it, Owen Cordle, Jazz Critic for the News and Observer, Raleigh, NC wrote,
"Gig
for gig, tenor saxophonist Gregg Gelb may have been the busiest jazz
musician in central North Carolina for the last 20 years. As leader of
the Gregg Gelb Swing Band, director of the Heart of Carolina Jazz
Orchestra, a founding member of the NC Jazz Repertory Orchestra, a jazz
educator, and leader of numerous ad-hoc small groups, Gelb is, by
example, an advocate for the music. With "Breakaway" (MG Records), he
cuts to the heart of his experience - a quartet blowing session with
seven of his original compositions."
The CD is available at www.cdbaby.com Marsh Woodwinds Quail Ridge Books and Music
