New York vibraphonist Ted Piltzecker returns to Denver for a follow-up of his 2023 release, Vibes on a Breath, this time though in an open quartet setting with his vibes brought to the front, adding inspired interplay with virtuoso trumpeter Brad Goode while also supplying the group’s harmonic palette through his 4-mallet comping and counterpoint. Along with drummer Paul Romaine and bassist Gonzalo Teppa, Piltzecker brought in percussionists Vinicius Barros and Hugo Alcazar from Brazil and Peru, providing surprising rhythmic textures to classic jazz standards such as “I Remember Clifford” and a Latin-tinged, “In a Sentimental Mood.” Piltzecker's work transports to an alluring musical world where every note is infused with a personal touch.
