Synopsis

Album Description
"Bigmouth" (FSNT-148) is bassist Chris Lightcap's much-anticipated second release as a leader for Fresh Sound. His first CD, "Lay-Up" was rated "one of the year's winners" by the New York Times and reached the #7 slot on CMJ's jazz radio chart. "Bigmouth" is quite simply the next stage in the development of a vital musical entity. Chris Lightcap really consolidates himself as a versatile and inspired leader. He brings together a group of regular collaborators who only go to add further colour to Chris? already rich compositions. Here we are presented with seven original numbers and one cover version, of the Lennon / McCartney tune, "Dig A Pony", which is given a really personal makeover from Lightcap?s nimble bass playing. Featured on the album are the acclaimed saxophonists Bill McHenry and Tony Malaby, and the explosive drummer Gerald Cleaver. This a young and thoughtful album that offers a twist on the usual quartet sound.
