About the Album

With his leader debut “The Flame Beneath the Surface,” trumpeter/composer Dave Adewumi shows why he’s often cited as one of the major new voices emerging from today’s New York scene. Throughout the record Adewumi offers high-concept but always engrossing music made in tandem with the all-star cast of vibraphonist Joel Ross, bassist Linda May Han Oh and drummer Marcus Gilmore.

On the title track, Adewumi’s soaring trumpet playing is accompanied by the tension and release of his composition which features the shifting textures from what he calls “a mood more than a message."
