Jim Rotondi strikes back with his third release as a leader for Posi-Tone Records! Featuring a program of new compositions and innovative arrangements of classic songs, "1000 Rainbows" clearly demonstrates Rotondi's musical leadership and mastery of his instrument. This hard hitting session also features the inspired playing of Joe Locke on vibes, the cool comping of Danny Grissett on piano, the steady underpinning of Barak Mori on bass, and the bombastic metrics of Bill Stewart on drums. Casual listeners and serious enthusiasts will certainly find that "1000 Rainbows," Jim Rotondi's latest colorful collection of swinging performances, is a swinging good time that everyone can dig over and over again!
