GA Russell Posted October 19, 2010 Report Posted October 19, 2010 I've been enjoying a promo I received called Two Sides One Story by the Mason Brothers. The sound is early sixties Blue Note. The brothers play trumpet and trombone. Chris Potter and Joe Locke make appearances. Amazon and CDBaby seem to be sold out of it. Amazon Marketsellers have used copies of it. The street date was supposed to be October 5, but maybe something is up with that. Brad Mason has a real nice smooth tone on trumpet. Elliot Mason wrote the songs and appears to be the leader of the group. I find one song particularly interesting because it is based on the changes of Giant Steps. It's called Stage Pints, which is an anagram! Anyway, I hope both of the Masons have a future, because I like 'em. Quote
Free For All Posted October 19, 2010 Report Posted October 19, 2010 Yes, Elliot Mason is a freak of nature and has the trombone world all abuzz (he also plays bass trumpet on the recording). In his spare time he also plays in the LCJO. I've been enjoying this one too, GA. Quote
marcello Posted October 19, 2010 Report Posted October 19, 2010 (edited) Joe Locke is taking Elliot along with him to Russia for a tour with Joe's "Percussion Discussion" ensemble next year. Edited October 19, 2010 by marcello Quote
