Get Happy

Jazz saxophonist Rich Corpolongo is back with his 3rd Delmark CD. The first two Smiles (Delmark 502) and Just Found Joy (Delmark 489) featured Rich's avant-garde as well as his mainstream jazz music and both received a four star rating from Down Beat. Get Happy is straight-ahead jazz in trio format (Rich Corpolongo, tenor sax; Dan Shapera, bass; Rusty Jones, drums) reminiscent of Sonny Rollins. Features 2 Charlie Parker compositions, "Chi Chi" and "Dewey Square" and eight standards including "Body And Soul", "Get Happy" and "Lullaby of the Leaves".
