{"product_id":"penumbra-moon-sessions","title":"Penumbra-Moon Sessions","description":"Review\n\nDmitri Matheny is an excellent flugelhornist. His style and sound are mellow, and his bop-based improvising is melodic...this sleeper is well worth investigating, both for the fine solos and the fresh material. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide --All Music Guide\n\nSurrounding himself with players comfortable with the cool-jazz idiom, flugelhornist Dmitri Matheny is as unhurried as a full moon rising. On his new album, in addition to his own songs, Matheny assays tunes composed by hot bopper Lee Morgan and rocker Neil Young. Penumbra is a thematic set obsessed with moon-age daydreams. Tom Harrell's \"Moon Alley,\" the traditional Chinese composition \"Autumn Moon\" and Young's \"Harvest Moon\" all glow with Matheny's imaginative arrangements. On \"Desert Moonlight,\" the saxophone is employed to fine effect as a foil for Matheny's own taciturn flugelhorn. \"Moonlight in Vermont\" boasts some slippery bass, Jim Hall like guitar and more saxophone warbling. With veteran jazz producer Orrin Keepnews at the boards, it is no surprise that the production values are crystalline; even on tape you can discern every sweep of the drummer's brush, every \"step\" the bass takes on its myriad \"walks\" as it escorts a tune to its conclusion. ~ MetroActive --MetroActive\n\nProduct Description\n\nA certified hit at jazz radio, produced by the legendary record executive Orrin Keepnews, and featuring tenor titan Dave Ellis, Dmitri Matheny's sophomore CD, Penumbra, is a collection of romantic music inspired by the Moon.
