Josh Arcoleo - Beginnings

Facts The first thing that hits home with Beginnings - tenor saxophonist Josh Arcoleo's debut CD - is it's timelessness. It's immediately modern and wonderfully assured and yet the entire tradition of jazz's first instrument seems to flow through it. Arcoleo has a highly personal tone on his horn and there's an individuality about his sound that is bold and commanding. Josh Arcoleo is blessed with a voice and a vision that's already mature and full of authority. Beginnings is one of the most complete debut albums in a long time. More than that, it's title warns of things to come. Tracks: Dean Rd, Nomad's Land, Glade, Intro to Beginnings, Beginnings, Harbinger, Phoenix, Kite Flight.
