About

For his third Discus Music, Dunmall has brought together an absolutely incredible group of musicians. Four punchy compositions and one group improvisation allow everyone maximum space for expression and exciting interaction.

Recording session sponsor Tony Dudley-Evans writes: "The music was magnificent, full of energy and the name of the session, Bright Light A Joyous Celebration, captures the atmosphere of the occasion..... Each track was recorded in one take. Each saxophonist contributed amazing solos, but this was essentially an interactive group performance driven by Hamid's drums, Dave's bass and Corey's brilliantly judged contributions on the vibes."

The fact that Dunmall is able to bring such a group together for a session like this, where every musician is a bandleader / significant figure in their own right, is a perfect demonstration of the regard in which he is held.

The session is aptly named. Four of the five tracks are based on minimal heads by Dunmall […] which provide the context for gloriously unfettered blowing from the three saxes punctuated by some deliciously salty vibraphone interjections.
