Fronting this new quartet co-led by trumpeter Cuong Vu, saxophonist Andrew D'Angelo will be making his first appearance in Philly since a seizure almost two years ago led to the discovery of a life-threatening brain tumor. D'Angelo's cancer battle was recounted movingly on his blog, but however his confrontation with mortality has changed him, don't expect it to be in the form of musical gentility. The altoist's confrontational style survives intact, so expect a fair share of Molotov blowing in conjunction with new collaborators culled from Seattle's up-and-coming jazz scene.
