Multi-reedist and Skokie, IL native John Temmeran’s new recording “Live in Evanston – John’s Mixed Bag”captures his band in live quartet and quintet performances from 2007 and 2008. Mixed Bag is an amalgamation of original compositions; jazz classics by Horace Silver (“Sister Sadie“) Eddie Harris (“Freedom Jazz Dance“) Oliver Nelson (“Stolen Moments“); 1960’s pop tunes The Beatles’ “Norwegian Wood” and “Spooky” by The Classics IV and the gospel chestnut “Just A Closer Walk With Thee.”
Reminiscent of the classic “Blue Note” recordings of the 1960’s, Mixed Bag features Temmerman on tenor and soprano sax; guitarist Neal Alger; bassist Steven Hashimoto; drummers Rusty Jones and Steve Magnone, drums; and trumpeter Steve Thomas on “Sister Sadie” and “Blue Moon.”
