Cat's Cradle is Chicago-based saxophonist, Tom Gullion's debut album for the Naim label and represents a celebration of the power of melody in a quartet setting.
Together in a quartet setting, Gullion's sax brings an infectious enthusiasm to a set of original tunes and standards.
While aspects of Gullion's career bring to mind that of Sonny Rollins, his sound and style owe more to John Coltrane and Michael Brecker. His rich, ripe tone and sculptor's way with melody are reminiscent of middle period Coltrane. Brecker, perhaps the founder of contemporary jazz sax, was, coincidentally, an earlier student of Gullion's tutor, David Baker at Indiana University.
