Pete Malinverni - Invisible Cities

For Pete Malinverni's "Invisible Cities," he used melodies that already existed, and composed his own for other places that inspired him in his travels. Featured with pianist Malinverni, are the superb soloists, trumpeter Tim Hagans, and tenor saxophonist Rich Perry, and the excellent rhythm support of bassist Ugonna Okegwo, and drummer Tom Melito. Malinverni's arrangements of "I Love Paris," "Chicago," Bernstein's "Lonely Town", There's a Boat Dat's Leavin' Soon for New York," and his own six original compositions provide a pallete for soloing, and group interplay that gives the impression that the players have been together for a long time rather than being in the recording studio for just one afternoon.
