Mike Metheny: Laurie

(From his website)
60.1 is trumpeter Mike Metheny's ninth album as a leader. The eclectic set covers styles ranging from evocative ballads and straightahead jazz to the raucous title track and a novel nod to marching bands.

Featured on 60.1 are some of Kansas City's finest jazz musicians, including Roger Wilder and Paul Smith (keyboards), Bob Bowman (acoustic bass) and Brandon Draper (drums). Seven of the ten tracks are originals by Mike, and in addition to his instrument of choice, the flugelhorn, the EVI (electronic valve instrument) is used on several selections.

"It's always fun putting together a new recording in a beautiful studio," Mike says. "Kansas City's Soundtrek has been like a second home for the past 20 years. But what made this project especially rewarding was the chance to play with such great musicians. On 60.1 I was in good company."
