Album Description

Cipher is more than a listening experience — it’s an invitation into sound, story, and mystery. Across eight original compositions, GRAMMY- winning trumpeter and composer Charlie Porter leads a fearless ensemble — Nick Biello (alto sax), George Colligan (piano), Garrett Baxter (bass), and Alan Jones (drums) — through music that ranges from mysterious swing to angular, modern grooves to lyrical ballads. Each piece stands on its own as a cinematic, forward-thinking jazz statement. But woven inside the notes and rhythms are hidden ciphers: nine secret messages waiting to be decoded. Together, they form an intricate puzzle leading beyond the music into the real world. Rooted in the spirit of exploration and Porter’s lifelong fascination with codes, riddles, and storytelling, Cipher dares you not only to listen, but to solve.
