Album Description

In the waning days of 2021, Sweden-based pianist Walter Thompson, joined Wyoming-based percussionist Ron Coulter and Denver-based saxophonist Mark Harris and bassist Matt Smiley for an open recording session, with no script or plan. The result is the album New Air, with seven fresh, spontaneous tracks. Coulter had met Thompson and Harris at a workshop a few months earlier. The topic was Soundpainting, a composition process of Thompson’s invention. Thompson has collaborated with Anthony Braxton, John Zorn and orchestras of Paris, Berlin, Copenhagen, Barcelona, New York, Chicago and LA, among others. Coulter is an accomplished performer and composer with equally vast credits. The Summit Quartet formed quickly as a creative project based on a shared language of improvisation, with deep jazz roots.
