Chase Sanborn is a trumpet/flugelhorn player of exceptional talent, with a warm, inviting tone, fluid lyrical phrasing, and a style that always swings. Sanborn’s latest CD, Perking UP, places him in duo and trio settings with a group of world-class musicians: Mark Eisenman on piano, Reg Schwager on guitar and Steve Wallace on bass. Together, they create music that is sometimes cooking, sometimes floating, and always communicating on a very intense level. This is a delightful performance!

You’ve gotta love Chase’s swinging, easy feel! One gets a very geniune feel from his simple yet elegant tunes. He exibits controlled and precise technique without sacrificing soul. Very nice!

Chase has a great balance of intensity and relaxation, with flawless execution. The ballads are smooth and lyrical, and the bop lines are floating. He reminds me of Clark Terry, who is one of my all-time favorites.

Chase Sanborn has such a wonderful tone matched by great technique and ideas.
Frank Mathewson (Toronto, ON)
Not only is the playing great, but on this recording you can really hear the woody-ness of the bass, the strings on the guitar and the breathiness of the horn. It sounds like jazz should sound-nice and swinging!
