Matt Olson • 789 Miles

 



Reflecting on the path his life has taken him on, 789 Miles represents the distance from saxophonist Matt Olson's childhood home in Wisconsin to his present residence in South Carolina, where he's on the faculty of Furman University. Through his original compositions, he sought to capture pieces of his upbringing and the lasting influence of his late parents. To bring it to today, he presents several compositions by current and former students at the University, performed in a trio with his longtime colleague Mike Kocour on B-3 organ, and drummer Dom Moio. From the hard swinging "Dance of the Dragonflies," to the modern and open "The Wishing Well," to Olson's lone tenor on the title track, this trio covers a lot of road.

Reflexionando sobre el camino que le ha llevado su vida, 789 millas representa la distancia que separa el hogar de la infancia del saxofonista Matt Olson en Wisconsin de su actual residencia en Carolina del Sur, donde es profesor de la Universidad de Furman. A través de sus composiciones originales, buscó plasmar trozos de su crianza y la influencia duradera de sus difuntos padres. Para traerlo a la actualidad, presenta varias composiciones de actuales y antiguos alumnos de la Universidad, interpretadas en trío con su colega de siempre Mike Kocour al órgano B-3, y el baterista Dom Moio. Desde el duro swing de "Dance of the Dragonflies", pasando por la moderna y abierta "The Wishing Well", hasta el solitario tenor de Olson en el tema que da título al disco, este trío cubre mucho camino.
