You never know where the inspiration comes from. For Portuguese bassist Nelson Cascais it was the words of Emily Bronte that helped him create his new recording “Remembrance”, one of several new releases sampled this week. North Carolina guitarist James Gilmore brings two to the party, while Aussie guitarist Damien Kingston brings a bigger group than last time. Pianist Dave Hartl tackles the music of trumpeter Brian Groder in a solo outing which is what Manila-based saxophonist Rick Countryman is up to on his “The First Bird” and the much-respected bassist Marc Johnson does on his new “Overpass”. And if you like to hear adventuresome vocalizing, singer Monquay should more than fill the bill. There’s much more for you too.
