New Point of View – Michael Hackett Quintet

The warm toned trumpet of Michael Hackett and a cohesive, talented group of musicians connect on a program of close to the heart, authentic, mostly new jazz music – Leaving the scene in New York City to pursue a doctoral degree, and now a Professor of Jazz Studies, the man has got something to say…

“…There are similarities here to the exceptional Blue Note sound and concept: clear statements of melody, creative improvisation, and consistent swing. Hackettís sound is pure hard bop pleasure and ballad finery… This is how records used to be made…” – Jazz Society of Oregon
