Album Description

Saxophonist and composer Jonathan Reisin presents Too Good X Unreality, a project that explores the connection between complexity and simplicity in music. Each composition reflects this balance, with thoughtful ideas that highlight the importance of this relationship. Following his debut album Option B (2022, Habitable Records) and the collaborative release Earthquake (2023, 577 Records) with drummer Francisco Mela, Too Good X Unreality marks a new chapter in Reisin’s evolving sound. The concept for the album evolved over nearly two years and took shape through Reisin’s collaboration with pianist Shinya Lin and drummer Jarred Chase. The trio’s shared focus on sound exploration and their dynamic interplay as musicians form the core of this album. Lin’s deep knowledge of prepared piano allows him to create a wide range of textures and sonic possibilities, while Chase’s unique approach to drumming brings an intricate and rhythmic foundation. Reisin’s distinctive saxophone style ties everything together with melodic lines that weave in and out of the harmonic and rhythmic framework. Together, they push the boundaries of their instruments, producing a well-rounded and thought-provoking body of work that is both cohesive and full of surprises. “Too Good X Unreality” will be available for download and in CD format on May 16 2025. credits
