Russell Gunn - Ethnomusicology, Vol. 4: Live In Atlanta [CD]

Russell Gunn is a two-time Grammy Award-nominated trumpeter, composer and bandleader, and one of the most acclaimed trumpeters of his generation. This new release is the fourth and final installment with his winning outfit Ethnomusicology. Far from being merely a live sampling of VOL. 1-3, this recording features five lengthy musical selections, with three never before recorded by the group. On this album Gunn weaves together elements of Cuban, Brazilian, African and D.C.'s "Go-Go" music, and hip hop into an adventurously progressive jazz style that pays tribute to it's tradition while also extending the form.
