Guitar phenom Cory Wong connected with the Metropole Orkest for his latest effort Starship Syncopation and the sound is rich, full and at times hypnotic. On the tune “305” Wong also tapped in saxophonist Chris Potter and the Miami mainstay quartet Electric Kif. The tune is six minutes full of groove with the band luxuriating in the epic horns and strings of the Metropole Orkest will Chris Potter gives a four-minute lesson on why he is regarded as one of the greats of his generation. When the Orkest’s horn sections join in the band kicks up a notch and we are off and running. Wong’s guitar mainly sits in the backseat on the tune and it’s nice to hear him lead with the compositional side of his skillset.
