How do you define ''cool?'' Composed, bold, dispassionate in one's manner, unagitated, philosophical, collected, etc....These adjectives & more apply to the cadre of fine talent trumpeter John McNeil has gathered for his new CD venture, "East Coast Cool." With everything from the subdued to the contemplative, McNeil washes you with his dense waves of harmony & original melodic lines which will evoke your interest by default. McNeil's arrangements cleverly & subtly employ diverse meter changes & interesting phrase lengths to hold your fascination as well....Reflecting the easygoing quality of his artistic persona.
