Hugh Ragin - Revelation (2004)

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Best known for capably filling the problematic trumpet chair in saxophonist David Murray's various large ensembles, Hugh Ragin possesses the well-rounded technique and abundant imagination that his predecessors in those bands did not.A harmonically daring player, Ragin combines the clear, ringing tone of a classical trumpeter with the chops and rhythmic ingenuity of a top-notch bebopper. Here in quite accessible free jazz compositions with bassist William Parker, drummer Hamid Drake plus Assif Tsahar on clarinet and tenor saxophone.
