Recorded in Jersey: ‘Hip To The Skip’ by The Christian Fabian Trio (Spicerack Records)
Emanating out of Mozart Studio in Little Falls, Passaic County, comes an absolutely delicious platter of sweets buoyed by drummer Jason Marsalis, he of the First Family of New Orleans Jazz. It’s bassist-composer Christian Fabian’s date yet it’s keyboardist Matt King who gives this party its heft. Highlighted by some discreet picks to interpret, ‘Hip To The Skip’ is as rhythmic and funky as its title (say it five times fast).
