Gilad Edelman - My Groove, Your Moove Music CD

Gilad Edelman is a relative rarity in today's jazz world - a youngster (age 23 at the time of this recording) who plays completely straight-ahead in the tradition of Cannonball, Stitt and Jackie McLean. And a breath of fresh air it is: The big, sweet tone; the youthful exuberance; the joy of ripping the changes - all suffused by the feeling of the blues that is foundation of hard bop. Here joined by a fabulous New York band comprised of Joe Magnarelli, David Hazeltine, John Webber and Jason Brown, Edelman presents a varied and well paced set that includes the seldom heard verse to "I Love You," "On the Street Where You Live," "The Way You Look Tonight," the rarely heard samba "Foi a Saudade," and the blues-drenched title tune, Hank Mobley's "My Groove, Your Move.
