With his two acclaimed big band recordings, and quartet sessions with saxophonists Joel Frahm and Greg Osby, pianist/composer Ben Markley has been steadily building a significant discography since his 2008 OA2 debut. With his fellow artists’ strengths in mind, Markley has always written specifically for the session, and Tell the Truth is no different. Composed to highlight the hard-swinging resumes of the rhythm section—with bassist Rodney Whitaker and drummer Kyle Swan—Markley pays tribute to the ’60s Blue Note quintet sessions, but hands the usual trumpet role to guitarist Steve Kovalcheck, along with alto saxophonist Wil Swindler, running the front line.
