Tatum Greenblatt offers his third recording as a leader, Imprints, which will be released for digital and hard copy sales beginning March 13, 2012. Imprints is a follow-up to his two previous recordings; Break of Day (2008) was recorded with The Here and Now Quintet for Origin Records OA2 label, and Mance's Dance (2006) recorded with Tatum's quintet at Seattle's famous Tula's Jazz Club.
Imprints (March 2012, self-produced) Imprints is a culmination of Tatum's eclectic experiences as a trumpet player. Drawing from the rich influences of the vibrant Seattle jazz scene and his early years in New York City sitting-in at the late night jam sessions, to performing with diverse artists such as The Mingus Big Band and Richard Bona. Tatum explains, “Musically this recording covers a broad range of styles that have been very important to me in my life and that have influenced me greatly. It's a collection of originals and covers in which each song, like a vignette, has it's own identity and emotion."
Greenblatt's trumpet is joined by a talented sextet of artists including: Geoff Vidal, tenor saxophone and clarinet; Adam Birnbaum, piano and NORD keyboard; Simon Kafka, guitars; Boris Kozlov, bass; Donald Edwards, drums; with the vocals by Sofia Tosello on “As I Wait For You."
