For his new recording, In His Timing, saxophonist Gregory Tardy focuses on the instrument that first brought him to the dance—the clarinet. Classically trained, we first heard his saxophone as a leader, and with work with Elvin Jones, Wynton Marsalis, Roy Hargrove, Betty Carter, Joe Lovano and Stefan Harris, among countless others. With this new release, Tardy's clarinet shines, alongside violinist Regina Carter, pianist Taber Gable, bassist Matthew Parrish and drummer Alvester Garnett, with a collection of originals and works from Frank Loesser, Johnny Hodges and Tom Harrell.
From Monday, December 4 through Friday, December 8, one cut from the In His Timing album will be featured each morning on the New Day, New Play spotlight on my Daybreak show.
