GreBu Records has released drummer Greg Burrows’ new album ‘Let’s Not Wait: The Music of Ed Bonoff’ out now, marking only the second album ever entirely dedicated to the music and arrangements of legendary New York composer, arranger and drummer Ed Bonoff, following trombonist Eddie Bert’s 1997 release ‘The Human Factor.’ A long-time friend and collaborator of Bonoff’s, Burrows assembled a powerhouse band of New York’s finest working jazz musicians including Tim Armacost on tenor and soprano saxophones, Gary Smulyan on baritone sax, John Fumasoli on trombone, Hiroshi Yamazaki on piano, Rich Zurkowski on bass, and special guest guitarist Al Orlo, recorded in the spring of 2024 capturing the vibrant energy of the group in full creative flow. The album showcases Bonoff’s expressive writing and timeless swing through a diverse set of pieces from the uplifting opener “Piazza Navona” to the bold and romantic title track “Let’s Not Wait,” plus highlights including “Shout ‘Em, Aunt Tillie,” a hot New Orleans-style take on a Duke Ellington classic, the lyrical “It Just Gets Better,” and “Le Corbeau de Chavignol” inspired by a mischievous café crow in France, with the closing tune “Mitosis” featuring an explosive series of drum trades. The album celebrates the friendship, artistry and enduring creativity of both Greg Burrows and Ed Bonoff, two musicians whose shared passion for jazz has flourished over four decades.
