Blue Shift – Rex Richardson and Steve Wilson

Honored in DownBeat’s Critic’s Poll as one of the Top 10 Trumpeters Deserving Wider Recognition, and labeled a “national treasure” by the renowned Dave Douglas, Rex Richardson is nothing short of brilliant. Here, he teamed up with dynamic sax man Steve Wilson, called “one of the finest saxophonists in the business” by NPR, then added a primo rhythm section. Do the math — this is RED HOT!
