FRESH SOUND RECORDS / Jason Rigby — Translucent Space (CD)

Jason Rigby at only
31-years-old has impressive
credentials, and now a new
release, Translucent Space,
showcasing his work on alto,
soprano, and tenor sax,
plus clarinet and wood flute.
Space takes up room in
your mind with excellent ef-
forts as the woodwind beauty
“Proximo,” the supercharged
“Turquoise Turkish,” the in-
timate sounding “Atmo-
spheric,” and what has been
described as controlled chaos,
“114”. The turmoil of “Back-
andforthed-ness” has a sense
of John Coltrane, the myste-
rious “Green of Greens,”
Rigby on bamboo flute for the
driving “Mumbai,” and it all
ends with the poignant song
titled for his brother “Chris-
topher.” A potpourri of music
from a multi-talented artist,
Jason Rigby!
