About

A 2017 live performance by the Ken Weiner Quintet featuring Weiner on tenor saxophone, Jun Iida on trumpet, Paul Kreibich on keyboard, Rick Otto on acoustic bass, and Tom Jedynak on drums. This extended set covers a broad program: a Cole Porter standard at 155 BPM in E-flat, a Hank Mobley piece at 187 BPM in B-flat, a Ken Weiner original at 188 BPM in G minor, a Weiner ballad at 58 BPM, a Monk standard at 127 BPM in E-flat, a Roy Hargrove blues at 244 BPM in C minor, a Benny Golson composition at 111 BPM in A-flat, a Weiner original with straight eighth-note feel at 130 BPM in B-flat minor, a Sonny Stitt rhythm changes tune at 211 BPM, and a Bill Lee march at 96 BPM. The two-horn front line of tenor and trumpet generates classic hard bop interplay across the program. Solos are generously distributed among all five members, with Weiner, Iida, and Kreibich each taking extended turns on most pieces. Otto and Jedynak contribute bass and drum solos respectively on several tunes. The mix of originals, hard bop classics, and standards reflects Weiner's programming sensibility, and the inclusion of Hargrove and Stitt material alongside Monk and Golson spans multiple generations of the jazz tradition.
