Owen Howard - Pentagon

Review by JOSE MANUEL BONILLA JIMENEZ

The album Pentagon by Owen Howard is a masterful display of jazz drumming and composition. From the very first track, Howard's virtuosic drumming is on full display. He weaves intricate rhythms and patterns, effortlessly shifting between different time signatures and tempos.

The rest of the ensemble is equally impressive, with each musician bringing their own unique voice to the music. The saxophone and trumpet solos are particularly noteworthy, with each player showing a deep understanding of the music and an ability to improvise with ease.

What sets this album apart, however, is the way in which Howard incorporates different styles and influences into his compositions. There are nods to traditional jazz, Latin rhythms, and even elements of rock and funk. Yet, despite the diversity of influences, the album never feels disjointed or unfocused.

Summary by JOSE MANUEL BONILLA JIMENEZ

Pentagon is a must-listen for fans of jazz and drumming. It is a testament to Owen Howard's skill as a musician and composer and a joy to listen to from start to finish.
