Nick Brignola - Tour De Force

schiffm3

Review by Amy Bibbings

Tour De Force, the latest album by Nick Brignola, is a masterpiece of modern jazz that showcases the saxophonist's virtuosity and versatility. Brignola, who passed away in 2002, was a prolific jazz musician who had collaborated with some of the biggest names in the industry, including Maynard Ferguson, Woody Herman, and Buddy Rich. On Tour De Force, Brignola is joined by an all-star cast of musicians, including pianist Kenny Barron, bassist Dave Holland, and drummer Jack DeJohnette.

The album features eight tracks, each one showcasing Brignola's mastery of the saxophone. The opening track, "El Gaucho," is a fast-paced Latin number that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Brignola's saxophone solos are breathtaking, and he is able to seamlessly transition from one style to another throughout the album.

One of the standout tracks on Tour De Force is "The Moment's Notice," a tribute to John Coltrane. Brignola's saxophone solos are reminiscent of Coltrane's, and the track is a fitting tribute to one of the greatest jazz musicians of all time.

Another highlight of the album is "Speak Low," a beautiful ballad that showcases Brignola's softer side. The saxophonist's tone is warm and soulful, and he is able to convey a range of emotions through his playing.
