a
different note all
together starts
with all the elements
that make great jazz--spontaneity,
group interaction,
harmonic motion and
polyrhythmic depth--and
adds the power and
immediacy of rock. Anschell's
compositions and arrangements
make the most of Sawyer's
edgy guitar and Williams'
thunderous drumming. The
CD's diverse musical
influences include
Thelonious Monk,
Ahmad Jamal, New Orleans
street beats, South
Indian rhythms, and
African drum patterns. a
different note all
together spent
eight weeks on the
Gavin jazz chart,
receiving extensive
airplay on more than
150 stations across
the country.
Additional
critical acclaim for a
different note all
together:
"It's
contributions
from
cats
like
Anschell
that
keep
the
coals
of
the
jazz
tradition
glowing...The
group
showcased
here
evidences
the
cohesion
and
collective
craftmanship
of
a
well-oiled
working
group,
which
accentuates
the
singularity
of
Anschell's
arrangements." --American
Reporter
"Great
interchange,
great
playing,
a
very
relaxed
set,
and
very fresh.
That
freshness
is
something
I
seldom
hear
anymore.
I
enjoyed
it
immensely." -- saxophone
great Bunky Green
"A
terrifically
eclectic
album...Anschell,
in
addition
to
writing
tunes
both
beautiful
and
offbeat,
is
a
talented
pianist."
--Victory
Review
"Bill's
quintet grooves with relaxed abandon
and a high level of empathy...This
album is a good introduction to
a fine new talent." --allaboutjazz.com
"Pianist/composer
Bill Anschell is helping to put
Southern jazz on the map. a different
note all together is on the cusp
of what's happening on the edges
of the jazz scene, utilizing hard
bop influences and adding contemporary
elements."
--Jazz
Central Station
"A
charming, well-designed session
that reaches beyond the ordinary." –JazzNow
