Curt Hanrahan Septet
The perfect selection for any jazz festival - the Curt Hanrahan Septet utilizing some of Wisconsin’s finest jazz musicians, exemplifies Curt’s arrangements of internationally known composer/pianist and Wisconsin native John Harmon. This is Wisconsin jazz at its finest and shows that world class jazz is rooted throughout the US. His latest CD, “To Be Again” features the compositions of composer/pianist John Harmon. John Harmon coaches chamber jazz at Lawrence University, WI. Harmon’s many commissions come from jazz and classical artists, chamber ensembles, major orchestras, and music series/festivals that he serves as composer-in-residence.
Musicians: Jamie Breiwick (trumpet-Flugelhorn), Curt Hanrahan (saxophones/flute), Warren Hanrahan (drums), Steve Lewandowski (guitar), Jim Sodke (piano), Carl Storniolo (vibes, percussion), Larry Tresp (bass)
Jazz Review - CD Title: To Be Again
Record Label: BluJazz / 2005 Style: BeBop / Hard Bop
To Be Again represents a sizzling effort by the Curt Hanrahan Septet of the Great Frozen North. The pieces are almost uniformly energetic and up tempo as if trying to shake off the Wisconsin chills and bundle themselves in the warmth and glory of jazz music.
"Caravan" is the crowning achievement of this album that re-evaluates the context but retains the spirit of the original Ellington recording.
