(AntonJazz #AJ-1002)


From richly introspective ballads to simmering grooves and upbeat reinterpretations of the classics, this acclaimed young saxophonist and composer playfully explores the panorama of jazz.   His rich sound pays tribute to such diverse masters as John Coltrane, Stanley Turrentine and Ben Webster.   "The Slow Lane" is the eagerly awaited follow-up to "When Music Calls."   Both of Anton Schwartz' releases are HDCD® encoded for superb audio fidelity on any CD player.
