Towner Galaher - Brothers [CD]

Drummer-composer Towner Galaher's 5th release, "Brothers", reunites him with his roots from his hometown of Portland Oregon and his musical brothers, organist Jimmy Sanders and bassist Randy Monroe, with whom he made his first two recordings in 1979 and 1980. Also on this recording are tenor saxophonist extraordinaire, Craig Handy and the stellar guitar work of Marvin Horne, both from NYC where Galaher has called home since 1986. "Brothers" features a set of eight original compositions written by Sanders and Galaher, both collaboratively and individually. The songs cover a wide range of styles and moods with tight, energetic rhythm section grooves and burning solos throughout. Creativity, passion, joy and friendship are on full display here on the aptly titled, "Brothers".
