Greg Holloway Trio - Full Circle

$20.00

Leader Greg Holloway is not a hog for the spotlight. He reminds me of Max Roach in his approach-not that he sounds like Roach per se (though he shares the same sense of crisp, driven swing), but in the way he leads the band w/out being overbearing. Pianist Jon Ozment playes with plenty of gusto, with over tones of T.Monk (playfully hard-hitting, judisious angularity) and Vince Guaraldi (bright & jaunty w/out being saccharine) and bassist Pepe Gonzales is the anchor. There are 10 tunes, (mostly hearty, meat & potatoes originals) so you know there is no excess or warter-treading. The sound production and quality is clear and vivid. "Full Circle" is a fine slice of straight-ahead, bristly hard-bop! Leader and drummer Greg Holloway leads the trio like Max Roach and is not a hog for the spot light. Washington, DC based Jon Ozment (piano) and Pepe Gonzales (Bass) add a bit of hard-hitting and angularity to the date. The CD has 10 compositions mainly meat and potatoe originals. Finally the production/sound quality is clear n' vivid.
