For the “After Hours” set tonight, Joe Magnarelli brought his trumpet Trio to Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola. Right away, this trio had a great, midnight sound, with electric organ, trumpet, and drums. Steady drums and organ began with exotically electric sound, giving space to Magnarelli’s trumpet, for scintillating solos. The second piece was dark with piercing trumpet trills, that slowed the tempo. The melody flowed in this uncluttered sound. Magnarelli took his flugelhorn next, for a work with a pulsating beat, equally textured and bluesy. Gary Versace’s organ and Joe Strasser’s drums mixed contrasting rhythms. Thelonius Monk’s “Evidence” featured a racing organ and clear trumpet, with quick, repetitive phrases. The music was propulsive.
“Ballad for Barretto”, named for Ray Barretto, renowned conga artist, featured Magnarelli on flugelhorn. This moody, melancholy tribute had sultry segments, with the flugelhorn passing the theme to the organ. Long, treble notes rolled with momentum. Another piece, by Dexter Gordon, was lively and kinetic. The set ended with fast, furious sound, a frenetic trumpet, and solos by Versace and Strasser. Check the Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola Website for future dates and artists.
