Gene Perla - bassRavi Coltrane - saxophoneRick Devlin = saxophoneAdam Nussbaum - drumsThe Lighthouse Project is a group playing repertoire that Steve Grossman, David Liebman, and Gene Perla did with Elvin Jones in the early 70s. People really want to hear intense burning, taking no prisoners, play with balls music. Some think complexity is a necessity, but playing on an A minor chord with some swinging quarter notes from the bass and a ride beat that lifts you off the ground does go right to the heart of the matter. And the heart is basic swinging, burning solo statements from everyone for the entire set with music that is conducive to that kind of attitude. The specter of Trane and the Classic Quartet does rise in this regard and after all Elvin was the caboose that drove that engine. What a privilege to have had a minute with Jones back then. It formed a rhythmical basis of playing for sure. Appreciation to Adam Nussbaum who plays more like Elvin than anyone else on the planet, knowing when to rise, fall, all toward telling their story; to Gates (Gene Perla) for his commitment to every beat and the spirit of this music; and to Ryan Devlin and Ravi Coltrane who absolutely burn every solo.
