BOBBY PREVITE/NEW BUMP: Set the Alarm for Monday
Palmetto, 2008

MODERN JAZZ – Wow, what a great sound! It’s like a 21st century film-noir soundtrack, with punchy horns and crime-jazz rhythms draped in dreamlike vibraphone lines. Great band includes Ellery Eskelin on sax, Steven Bernstein on trumpet. Too bad there’s no movie to go with it.

All very cool. Fo’s Picks: 2, 3, 4, 6, 8

1. 4:29 – slow, tick-tock rhythm; deliberate, smoky after-hours melody
2. 5:40 – awesome percussion, hard trumpet & streetwise sax; flowing vibes
3. 4:32 – slinky Latinesque back-alley groove: muted trumpet, sneaky vibes
4. 3:44 – tense, rather paranoid feel: husky sax solo prods gently
5. 4:29 – taut rhythm vs. relaxed vibes; horns walk gingerly down the middle
6. 6:07 – drugged and stumbling: horns/vibes pull steady rhythm off-balance
7. 5:44 – dragging tempo, a little echo: weary, disoriented horns; bongo solo
8. 5:08 – drives gently through beautiful sheets of vibe tones (ends early!)
9. 8:47 – a longer version of #1
