Bill Heller, best-known as the keyboard player for the GRAMMY-nominated jazz group The Rippingtons, released a new jazz fusion album as a leader earlier this year. The new collection offering 12 original compositions and an eclectic palette of sounds. The opening and title track is a transportive tour-de-force, featuring Heller on keys alongside Dave Karasony on drums, Rico Belled on bass, Russ DeSalvo on guitar, Dan Levine on trombones, Rheagan Osteen on French horns, Dave Mann on woodwinds and John Arrucci on steel pan/percussion.”Throughout, Passage is an impressive listen. Heller composes with finesse and verve. He surrounds himself with top-shelf players that dig into the nuances of his writing with great result. Heller has a way of writing that looks at the big picture, and the result is a satisfying listen throughout. Nothing is predictable or contrived, and Heller keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout, making for a savory album experience.” (Ferell Aubre, thejazzword.com)
