Farnell Newton - Feel the Love '2021

Tracks list

Emotional integrity is the keynote address when Farnell Newton plays his trumpet
with heartfelt and hopeful expressiveness entreating us to “Feel the
Love.” As this 2021 album covers a wide range of moods and genres, Newtons
trumpet playing remains steadily focused on portraying the subtle and tasteful
elements of his style. He pushes melodicism to the forefront while also
demonstrating his formidable command of the instrument. The whole album is truly
a labor of love. To make this happen, Newton traveled east from Portland Oregon
to New York City, to work with Posi-Tone and their capable rhythm section of
pianist Art Hirahara, bassist Boris Kozlov, and drummers Rudy Royston and Joe
Strasser. The album also features wonderful guest appearances from several of
Farnells favorite saxophonists, including Jaleel Shaw, Braxton Cook, Brandon
Wright, and Patrick Cornelius. With an amazing combination of diverse talents,
several brilliant performances, and an evocative program of musical
compositions, Farnell Newton keeps everything moving steadily straight forward,
and continues to announce he is an important and emerging voice on todays jazz
scene.
