EASTERN VIEW

David Sills
(Origin 82437)

“With a solid organ trio backing him, tenor saxophonist David Sills grabs your attention with his very first solo on Eastern View ‘s opener, the Sills-penned (as are all the songs here) ‘New Break.’ The tune opens with an organ-supplied bass groove backed by shimmering cymbals; then the guitar and sax enter, peeling off some tangy mid-tempo lines, until the accompaniment pulls back and Sills steps out front, with a somewhat restrained (nicely so) and articulate, straightforward monologue in front of the always inspired trio.”– Dan McClenaghan, All About Jazz  (more)
