Vibraphonist Behn Gillece returns with Pivot Point, his dynamic eighth release for Posi-Tone Records, offering a deep dive into the soul of the blues through the lens of modern straight-ahead jazz. Showcasing a fresh set of originals alongside contributions from a stellar ensemble, Gillece assembles an all-star lineup featuring saxophonist Willie Morris, pianist Jon Davis, bassist Boris Kozlov, and powerhouse drummers Rudy Royston and Jason Tiemann, trading off with seamless intensity. With a sound that effortlessly bridges timeless tradition and contemporary sophistication, Gillece once again proves his command of the vibraphone and his deep-rooted fluency in the jazz language. Pivot Point is swinging, melodic, and deeply expressive — a must-hear for fans of forward-thinking jazz that never loses sight of its bluesy roots.
