Chasing Tales is the third release in three years by guitarist Mark Kleinhaut. In addition to his frequent collborators (bassist Jim Lyden and drummer Mark Macksoud) Kleinhaut has augmented his ensemble with legendary trumpeter, Tiger Okoshi. Having toured the world and recorded with Vibist Gary Burton, Roy Haynes, Steve Swallow and Bob Moses, and as leader of his group, Tiger's Baku, Okoshi's international reputation is firmly entrenched. Now, Okoshi brings his world-class touch to Chasing Tales, a collaboration with Kleinhaut and company for a recording of new music that is beautiful and conversational. Kleinhaut continues with his nine new compositions the "tone-poem" and cinematic writing style he introduced on his previous two discs. His tunes, plus one penned by Okoshi, weave tales of varied landscapes exploring realms of human experience and emotions. Okoshi, Kleinhaut, Lyden and Macksoud are consummate story tellers who create a welcoming world as they share these tales with you, the listener. Instrumental Guitar (Electric/Jazz), total running time, 58:05 - Mark Kleinhaut Trio @ iTunes!
