Heading Home on CD

Eric is the real deal! A truly world class jazz trumpeter... strong, assured technique, a hip dark sound on the trumpet, and expressive without gimmicks. - BRIAN LYNCH. Through the release of 2023's "Discovery" and tours of the Midwest and New York, trumpeter Eric Jacobson's rapport with his quintet of NY pianist Bruce Barth and the Chicago-based saxophonist Geof Bradfield, bassist Dennis Carroll and drummer George Fludas, has melded into a thriving ensemble performing on the highest levels. His eight original compositions provide the perfect vehicle for Jacobson's warmth-under-fire playing and the band's emotive presence, each perpetually on the verge of ascending even higher. "Heading Home" is an intriguing celebration of friendship, exploration, and a shared passion for the music. It's a sonic journey that takes you from Milwaukee and Chicago to New York - ultimately leading you back home.
