“Among the crew is trumpeter Tom Avgenicos, whose clear conception meets the demands on all ensemble in their ability to fluidly morph their performance between lead, ensemble and improvised solo modalities… his superb solo on ‘Departure’ reveals more of his rich tonal and expressive, gruff and angular improvised melodic language.” – Loud Mouth
