Of the eight pieces that make up the present recital, a full seven of them are penned by Shulman. He manages to pique our interest via sagacious horn voicings and a varied selection of tempos and moods. Revisiting a tried and true vernacular that continues to provide fodder, his musical sensibilities here lie somewhere between Miles Davis' Birth of the Cool and Art Pepper's Plus Eleven album.

Press Quotes

''...A number of recent small-group albums have gazed in the rear-view mirror and aimed to re-create the ardor and energy animating those legendary ensembles that canonized the remarkable Prestige-Blue Note era of the 1950s-'60s. West Meets East is clearly one of the best.''

A solid, pure jazzbo, Shulman is one of those chop laden, no frills piano men that steps up to the line and delivers the goods. A Bay area club fixture and scenester, he sounds like he ate old Blue Note sessions for breakfast mixed in with his formula. Great jazzbo listening, the rest of the country needs to hear how on the money he is. Hot stuff.
