b'We had the pleasure of interviewing Gordon Goodwin over Zoom video!\\xa0

Multiple Grammy/Emmy Award winner Gordon Goodwin returns to the forefront of adventurous compositions and modern jazz with \\u201cThe Reset,\\u201d an urgent and topical 5-song EP, a bold foray into the intersection of composition and improvisation, a futuristic excursion brimming with purpose and cursive.\\xa0

From the 7-minute title track, which seems to channel the ethos of Chick Corea\\u2019s Return to Forever, while unleashing its inner Dream Theater, to the funky sass and sizzle of \\u201cSix Feet Away,\\u201d one thing is inherently certain, its calligraphy pulls back the curtain and soars into areas few big bands have ventured.\\xa0

Honoring the late great arranger/composer Sammy Nestico, who passed away earlier this year at the age of 96, with a pair of songs, the first being \\u201cMy Man Sam\\u201d which swings with the same buoyancy as his former employer, Count Basie, for his Orchestra, and \\u201cCell Talk,\\u201d which was the last chart Nestico wrote while in his early 90s. Sammy\\u2019s voice can be heard at the beginning of the song. Lovingly done, both expositions feel classic, yet fresh, an address to the best of us and what\\u2019s next.\\xa0

The lone cover, and only vocal track, is a gorgeous reading of the David Foster-penned \\u201cThrough the Fire,\\u201d a song first made famous by Chaka Khan, this time beautifully delivered by vocalist Vangie Gunn, who, in addition to her career singing on TV and Film soundtracks, has performed with Johnny Mathis, Herb Alpert, Barry Manilow, Patti Austin, Justin Timberlake, Melissa Manchester and Take 6.\\xa0

As a companion piece, 11 alternate mixes of two of the tracks are being made available as bonus content via the official Gordon Goodwin online store at Bandwear. Fans can purchase the premium digital content as a stand-alone offering or buy any format of his most recent album, 2020\\u2019s The Gordian Knot (on vinyl, CD, Blu-ray or flash drive), and receive a complimentary download of the tracks, 6 mixes of \\u201cSix Feet Away\\u201d and 5 mixes of the title track. Each mix highlights the solo efforts of a particular member of the Big Phat Band, so listeners can revel in the Marienthal soprano sax mix, the Rocha trumpet mix or the Goodwin Hammond B3 mix, to name a few.
