" data-original-title="" title="">Ben Markley has been steadily building a significant discography since his 2008 OA2 debut. With his fellow artist��s 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 �C with bassist Rodney Whitaker and drummer Kyle Swan �C 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. ��Markley, his comping is exemplary, his solos as lyrical and logical as two of his role models, Cedar Walton and Bill Evans.�� All About Jazz
