Live at the 55 Bar [www.janekgwizdala.com]
For his self-written, -arranged, and -produced sophomore effort, Gwizdala retains the live approach of his debut, once again using three tightly voiced horns to deliver memorable melodies on top of funky, imaginative feels. Among the highpoints are the percolating grooves and brooding brass on “Culture” and “Mana,” and the expressive, bass-led ballad, “Alibea.”
