We really love the music of Theo Hill more and more with each new record – and here, the pianist is working in a quartet with Joel Ross on vibe – a player who makes a perfect partner for his music! Both Hill and Ross have this open sense of sound and timing – often using the spaces between the notes as much as the notes themselves – even when things are moving at a more full-on level, which they do often – thanks to contributions from Rashaan Carter on bass and Mark Whitfield on drums! Yet it's the sonic interplay between the vibes and keys that really blow us away – maybe especially at the few points when Theo picks up Fender Rhodes, and balances out the record with even more warmth next to his acoustic tracks.

Hill Climber should have been yet another brilliant release by Vulfpeck; instead, it squanders the momentum built by its opening moments by going completely lopsided in the following. One for one, DiMaggio. Two for two, perfect streak. Three for three. Wait, what? Yeah, it’s still on! C’mon now, did you really think I’d just go and let my hot streak fizzle out after hitting Vulfpeck’s last two records with a fire review each? Nah, that’s not my style. I’m committed. Once you’ve got the ball rolling down this funky hill, there’s no use trying to stop it anyway, so y’all might as well come along for the ride. Hill Climber is the name of Vulfpeck’s latest release.

New Faces is the brainchild of producer Marc Free, who comingles the talents of six young jazzers, each of whom has led at least one session for Posi-Tone. With the exception of a Herbie Hancock composition, the material is comprised of attractive, catchy themes of varying degrees of complexity, penned by a number of the label's artists and originally released on records throughout Posi-Tone's two-decade plus history. The record was recorded in one day, the group sounds well prepared, and the results stand in contradistinction to a one off, all-star, blowing date.

How can we at Posi-Tone show our sincere appreciation and affection for one of the world's greatest songwriters?

Maybe we could accomplish both of these objectives simultaneously by honoring him with the release of a special compilation of his music! “Tales of Wonder” is a collection of instrumental jazz interpretations of some of his most popular compositions lovingly performed by a wide variety of artists from our talented roster.
