about

Strunkin' is baritone saxophonist Leigh Pilzer's first recording as a bandleader. She is joined by long-time friends and colleagues from The DIVA Jazz Orchestra, the Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra, and the critically acclaimed show Maurice Hines Tappin' Thru Life: Jen Krupa on trombone, Sherrie Maricle on drums, Amy Shook on bass, and Jackie Warren on piano.

The musicians' shared love and respect for straight-ahead, swinging jazz is evident throughout the CD--six original compositions by Leigh and one each by Amy and Jen--starting with the Konitz-inspired title track and continuing with the Ellingtonesque "Miss Ally in Allyworld," the blues-drenched sass of Amy's "Brag Time," the reimagined bebop of Jen's "Duel at Dawn," and more.
