Deep Song

Deep Song is the title to Kurt Rosenwinkel’s new CD. If you are unfamiliar with Kurt and his music check out his Web site or the iTunes Store to get some free previews. I really dig his sound, both his personal sound on his guitar and the sound of his music. It has a great story telling capacity to it - almost akin to reading a book. He’s a got a great crew on this set with Brad Mehldau on piano, Joshua Redman on tenor sax, Larry Grenadier on bass and either Ali Jackson or longtime associate Jeff Ballard on drums. The music really swings and has great energy. It’s too bad that some have labeled Kurt’s music as intellectual - it’s anything but that. I think it leaps off the disc and grabs you with great melodies and rhythms. Give it a listen.
