| Interplay by The Tom Peron, Bud Spangler, John Wiitala with special guest Jessica Williams
World-class jazz trumpet player TOM PERON delights listeners with his warm, full-bodied tones and flawless articulation. Peron joins the extraordinary pianist Jessica Williams, San Francisco drummer Bud Spangler and John Wiitala on bass for this recording. Interplay, is a swinging mix of standards composed by such legends as Thelonious Monk, Sonny Rollins and George Gershwin, It is a swinging mix of standards composed by such legends as Thelonious Monk, Sonny Rollins and George Gershwin, plus two Tom Peron originals. Playing “straight-ahead jazz for the 21st Century” the Peron/Spangler group draws inspiration from legendary collaborations of jazz horn players and drummers such as Clifford Brown and Max Roach; the John Coltrane Quartet with Elvin Jones; and Miles Davis with his procession of fine drummers — Philly Joe Jones, Jimmy Cobb and Tony Williams. Jazz journalist Scott Yanow proclaims, “The conclusion one reaches after listening to the stimulating music of the Tom Peron/Bud Spangler Quartet is that there is still plenty of life to be found in straight-ahead jazz.” Alex Henderson, reviewing Interplay in JazzIz: “...this unit satisfies...A very warm and melody-conscious improviser, Peron brings to mind the Miles Davis or Chet Baker school of heartfelt lyricism, but he has obviously absorbed the ideas of brassier trumpeters like Kenny Dorham and Clifford Brown as well.”
