Hindsight

Trumpeter Charlie Porter fronts a high-energy band performing compositions that may remind one of Dizzy Gillespie or Freddie Hubbard in a post-bop setting, with the occasional electric overtones. The compositions contain intricate melodies with nicely interwoven lead lines. The band's rhythm section continuously pushing the boundaries normally created by this style of music, making for an exciting journey within every piece. Porter plays with passion and precision that highly respects the Jazz Elders while maintaining his own modern voice. This is part of what modern jazz should be about.
