Album Description
TALL TREES
Justin Chart’s latest release, Tall Trees, is the art of a jazz trio, where the barebones configuration of alto saxophone, bass, and drums demands both profound lyricism and relentless invention. Joined by the formidable rhythm section of Max Gerl on bass and Kendall Kay on drums, Chart delivers a dynamic and powerful performance that is instantly arresting. His alto playing is characterized by a soulful urgency, effortlessly shifting between blues-drenched melodic statements and bursts of hard-bop fire. Unlike ensembles where the rhythm section merely provides a backing track, Gerl and Kay act as equal conversationalists, creating a constantly shifting rhythmic and harmonic landscape that pushes Chart to new expressive heights. The result is an album that feels spontaneous, raw, and deeply communicative, showcasing Chart’s renowned ability to generate sophisticated, yet intense improvisations that show what Justin does best, be in the moment. This album is a complete, unified artistic statement.
