Gary Brunotte
Manic Moments
2007, Sincopato
From the March 2008 issue of JazzTimes…
Featuring a trio, quartet and septet, organist Gary Brunotte’s fourth album shifts from cool Brazilian breezes to twitchy urban struts, and from haunting balladry to happy stomps. He switches instruments as well, supplementing his gleefully sneaky approach to the organ with gentle piano, tender accordion and some throaty vocal turns. The disc is unified by Brunotte’s sunny spirit: Whether he’s creeping stealthily across Jimmy Rowles’ “The Peacocks” or parading a children’s choir through “Mas Que Nada,” his love of the material shines through.
