Album Description
Introducing Straight Up!, a co-led project from the minds of Andrew Kushnir and Reed Miller. The concept for Straight Up! formed in the summer of 2020 as Kushnir and Miller explored standards and jazz classics under the shade of Prospect Park, Brooklyn. In the last five years, Straight Up! has refined its group sound and recorded an eclectic group of compositions from Thelonious Monk, Ornette Coleman, Randy Weston, and Bud Powell. Straight Up! finds inspiration in mid-century composers and improvisers while crafting an original approach to the guitar-trio sound. Listeners have drawn comparisons to the timeless work of Barney Kessel, Ray Brown, and Shelley Manne’s Poll Winners trio. Straight Up! brings music lovers inside of the intimate world of New York City’s underground jazz scene.
