Full performer name: Marty Ehrlich's Traveler's Tales. Marty Ehrlich's Traveler's Tales: Marty Ehrlich (soprano & alto saxophones, flute); Tony Malaby (soprano & tenor saxophones); Jerome Harris (acoustic bass); Bobby Previte (drums). Recorded live at the Knitting Factory Old Office, New York, New York from December 9-12, 1999. Includes liner notes by Frank Tafuri. This quartet takes their name from the title of Ehrlich's wonderful 1990 album. It again features a two horn front line, this time with leader Marty Ehrlich joined by Tony Malaby on a variety of saxophones and flutes. Drummer Bobby Previte continues to dazzle with his supple tensions--sometimes driving the rhythm, other times dancing around it. He's joined in the rhythm section by Jerome Harris (who played with Sonny Rollins for years). This set was recorded live over four nights at New York City's Knitting Factory at the end of 1999. The sound is clear, with each instrument nicely separated, but with the ensemble interplay hot and ever present. The seven Ehrlich originals are joined by a fantastic "Pigskin," by Julius Hemphill and the classic "Tears Of Rage," from the Debut album by The Band. Ehrlich is one of the subtly strongest voices to emerge from the cutting edge of jazz in the eighties.
