New Time, New 'Tet

NEW TIME, NEW ‘TET is an album with an implied "suite," in which Golson joins new compositions inspired by Giuseppi Verdi and Frederic Chopin to a standard jazz repertoire. The artistic result is philosophical musing that erupts into a street party. At one moment, vocalist Al Jarreau reprises Golson's classic "Whisper Not," while at another moment, we encounter the uproarious (and comic) "Gypsy Jingle-Jangle."
