Juno-nominee Jim Head's newest release draws inspiration from the vibrant energy and richly creative music of New York City. The album features guitarist/composer Jim Head alongside acclaimed Canadian jazz artists Kelly Jefferson on tenor saxophone, pianist Chris Andrew, bassist Rémi-Jean LeBlanc, and drummer Dave Laing. Prismatic showcases Head's richly detailed, lush, unpredictable, and adventurously melodic compositions. While building on influences like masters Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock, contemporaries such as Kurt Rosenwinkel, Aaron Parks, and Melissa Aldana, and classical composers including Bartok and Brahms, Head has forged a style and sound that is forward looking and distinctly personal. Highlights include the driving opening track, The Stone; the soulful Dawnstruck; the lush, darkly open landscape of Potter's Wheel; and Head's tribute to the the New York Subway experience, Showtime.
