Lucky

I first heard Hans Teuber with his sly, sweet, and swell sax work backing Kendra Shank, and his new release Lucky - is a rare gem. If there is a "third-stream" - Hans is the leader of the pack, and with a Brazilian twist that gets under your skin, ever so nicely. Best use of guitar (Paul Meyers) and sax together since the jazz samba Getz/Gilberto. You really can't get enough of it. Nouveau bass wonder Santi DeBriano is again a perfect choice on this rich musical effort.

I don't know much about Hans Teuber - but his majestic Websteresque tone and Prez-like rides should propel him to the top rung of today's jazz cats. I was lucky to come across Lucky (thanks, Origin). Add this to your collection and you'll be lucky, too...dancing the night away.
