  • Sounds Like

    NEW CHRISTMAS CD AVAILABLE HERE .......... NEW CD NOW AVAILABLE! .......... ........................NATE BIRKEY QUINTET: Shortest Day......His subtle vocal and trumpet approach has often been compared to that of Chet Baker and Miles Davis respectively; a sound poised and assured, powerfully stark and spare, it creates an atmosphere at once solitary and electric........................... ........................NATE BIRKEY QUINTET: The Mennonite......Nate Birkey's sense of the modern mainstream includes original compositions derived from straight-ahead jazz, Latin, and blues traditions, highlighted by moody trumpet daydreams and cohesive ensemble play........................... ........................NATE BIRKEY: Ballads......The timbre of his disarmingly soft voice is itself closely akin to the sound he gets out of his trumpet, and it is precisely these melancholy vocals that - combined with his effortless skill on the horn - have critics comparing him to Chet Baker...........................
