Wonderfully eloquent and innovative ...
International Trumpet Guild

Chasing Horizons is a tight and swinging set of original tunes from Phoenix-based trumpeter and composer Fred Forney and his group of veteran improvisors. The three distinctively unique soloists, Forney, pianist Chuck Marohnic, and saxophonist Brice Winston, explore compositions that are modern, haunting, introspective, yet all interestingly catchy. ?Forney sorts through his lush lexicon of trumpet tones and statements like a writer immersed in creation, selecting only the most suitably beautiful phrases and inflections.? - American Jazz Symposium.
