Scott Kreitzer, tenor sax; Dave Samuels, vibes; Marc Cohen, piano; Harvie S., bass; Bill Stewart, drums. Scott Kreitzer, Peter DeMarco, prods.; Dave Baker, Recording Engineer; Bob Ludwig, Mastering;This debut album by 23-year-old composer and tenor player Scott Kreitzer is a tour de force of spontaneous, free-flowing, straight-ahead jazz. Despite his youth, Kreitzer plays with a maturity and conviction that evoke shades of the great tenor men, notably Dexter Gordon.
Recorded live to two-track with no overdubs, Kick'n Off bristles with an enthusiasm and energy rarely heard from multi-tracked recordings. This band really stretches out, both in supporting the lyrical compositions and during the ample improvised solos. The album is beautifully recorded, with excellent instrumental balance , a nice sense of air and space around the instruments, and smooth textures.
