Push
Jazz pianist and composer Toby Koenigsberg has released his debut CD as a leader, Push. The CD features performances recorded live at The Little Theatre, a club in Rochester, New York. On it, he is joined by world-famous saxophonist Rich Perry, of the Maria Schneider Jazz Orchestra and the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra, as well as extraordinary young talents: Ike Sturm (bass) and Ted Poor (drums).
Push features five of Koenigsberg's original compositions alongside jazz classics Giant Steps by John Coltrane (performed in alternating meters – 4/4 and 7/4) and Ju Ju by Wayne Shorter. The CD also features one jazz standard, an evocative ballad rendition of Too Marvelous for Words. For this CD, seven nights and over 80 tracks were recorded; Push features the finest 8 tracks of these sessions.
