A member of the collective the Other Quartet, trumpeter Russ Johnson delivers an impressive debut as a leader with Save Big. He puts together a sympathetic and dedicated team that achieves a focused effort. The opening "Saguache" sets the tone with its unpretentious melody, which slowly builds intensity to reach an exhilarating climax. After such a brilliant introduction, the band doesn't lose any steam, executing quality material with a remarkable consistency. The musicians never rush, but avoid sounding static. Both the compositions and improvisations are carefully structured and articulated, and although they nod to tradition, they share a progressive spirit. While some cuts include Eastern sonorities, they all follow an unpredictable path and show a real sense of purpose. Johnson is a thoughtful player who can produce a large range of tones and textures through his masterful use of mutes. He has found a perfect foil in alto sax John O'Gallagher, whose versatility is a definite asset. The rhythm section features the ubiquitous Kermit Driscoll on bass and the lesser-known Mark Ferber on drums. They play with a welcome economy of notes, apply all the right touches, and place adequate punctuation. All those qualities make for a promising debut by a musician to keep under close watch. ~ Alain Drouot

Personnel: Russ Johnson (trumpet); John O'Gallagher (alto saxophone); Kermit Driscoll (double bass); Mark Ferber (drums, percussion).

Down Beat (p.76) - 4 stars out of 5 - "[C]ontemporary in sound with its smart attitude."
JazzTimes (p.102) - "It is both challenging and instantly likable. The album delivers on the implicit promise of economy in its title by a clean, intelligent, uncluttered, no-nonsense approach to freebop."
