Nick Rossi Set • On The Outset

Review by Scott Yanow

Organist Nick Rossi's On the Outset is an easy set to enjoy. The soul-jazz music is pretty basic with a fine organ-tenor-guitar-drums quartet romping through blues, bluesy material and boogaloos. Nick Rossi, tenor saxophonist Aaron Rossi and guitarist Steve Burke all take soulful and swinging solos while drummer Sameer Gupta provides fine support. The relatively brief playing time and the interchangeability of the originals, none of which have memorable melodies, keep this from being an essential set but soul-jazz fans will savor this spirited effort.

On the Outset, del organista Nick Rossi, es un juego fácil de disfrutar. La música soul-jazz es bastante básica, con un excelente cuarteto de órgano-tenor-guitarra-batería que se entremezcla a través de blues, material de blues y boogaloos. Nick Rossi, el saxofonista Aaron Rossi y el guitarrista Steve Burke toman solos conmovedores y conmovedores, mientras que el baterista Sameer Gupta brinda un excelente apoyo. El tiempo de reproducción relativamente breve y la intercambiabilidad de los originales, ninguno de los cuales tiene melodías memorables, impiden que esto sea un conjunto esencial, pero los fanáticos del soul-jazz saborearán este esfuerzo enérgico.
