Pacific Standard (Swingin'!) Time
Clarinetist Buddy DeFranco and accordionist Tommy Gumina bring together two overlooked voices of cool jazz sophistication. This 2011 Fresh Sound Records session captures them in comfortable dialogue, finding warmth and swing within jazz's cooler aesthetic. DeFranco's clarinet voice remains distinctive - woody and expressive without excessive flourish - while Gumina's accordion adds unexpected textural richness to the ensemble. The rhythm section provides solid swing foundation, allowing both leaders space for lyrical exploration. These are mature players comfortable within their idiom, playing standards with genuine affection and light contemporary touch. An accessible entry into cool jazz that demonstrates how swing and sophistication aren't opposing forces but natural partners.
