Second Introduction CD (2009)
 $12.89 
"Dry" lets Jim Pisano show what he can do with the sax on his solos, and it's a fine thing he can do, no less. For his sophomore release (and his first with the OA2 label), pianist Ben Markley put together a mix of old friends and bigger players on the scene for a set of original compositions and a jumping, driving feel. Only a couple of songs diverge: Van Heusen's standard "But Beautiful" is given a lighter working, and "And the Wind Came" (in tribute to a hometown lost in a tornado) is given a more introspective feel, though there's still a bit of a bounce in the performances. The album opens with "5-20," giving each player some time to work out a solo and show what the newly formed quintet can do together. The tone stays up from piece to piece, never dropping a beat or allowing a less than joyous mood in the music. The performances throughout the album, on the part of all players, are outstanding. The compositions are solid, leaving no gaps. After a nice post-bop introduction, Markley shows a nice touch with some blues-based soloing, passing it on eventually for a long solo by trumpeter Greg Gisbert that gives him room to do a little melodic blaring in the vein of Dizzy's work in the '70s.
