about

"Bigmouth" is bassist Chris Lightcap's much-anticipated second release as a leader for Fresh Sound. His first CD, "Lay-Up" was rated "one of the year's best" by the New York Times and reached the top ten of CMJ's jazz radio chart.

"Bigmouth" is quite simply the next stage in the development of a vital musical entity. Chris Lightcap really consolidates himself as a versatile and inspired leader. He brings together a group of regular collaborators who only go to add further colour to Chris already rich compositions. Here we are presented with seven original numbers and one cover version, of the Lennon-McCartney tune, Dig A Pony, which is given a really personal makeover from Lightcaps nimble bass playing. Featured on the album is New York saxophonist Bill McHenry (a Fresh Sound New Talent regular and regular collaborator with many artists, like Rebecca Martin), Tony Malaby, also on tenor, and fiery improv-drummer Gerald Cleaver (also a Fresh Sound New Talent leader, with his critically acclaimed Veil of Names). This a young and thoughtful album that offers a twist on the usual quartet sound.
