 Like most accomplished jazz
drummers, Tony Martucci has played with an array of gifted musicians. So
when he gets a chance to lead his own recording session, you can bet he'll be
in excellent company. Martucci’s new album, “Life in
Hand,” his fourth as a bandleader, underscores his knack for being
in the right place at the right time with the right collaborators.

One Steve Herberman and his trio stretch out over a set of
favorite modern jazz classics and originals ranging in styles, meters and
moods. The unique arrangements and extended improvisation coupled with subtle
group interplay holds the listeners attention. At the root of Steve's playing
is a love of contrapuntal textures, a harmonic approach to improvising and
rhythmic diversity. "Ideals" consists of four new original compositions
and seven standards with a few surprises.

 A common thread runs through the music
played by Chuck Redd and his colleagues on this marvelous recording that, in
the words of the accomplished vibraphonist/drummer himself, “is sewn into
jazz from the beginning of the art form.” To swing, to play melodically,
highlight the beauty of a great song, to infuse the music with a blues feeling
and consistently strive for honesty and excellence are the elements that Redd
feels connects the music that he makes today with all the many great sounds of
jazz that have come before it.
