Album Description
With elements of bebop, dense chordal arrangements, and improvisation over complex changes, its roots are distinctly jazz. Add in Latin and rock grooves blended seamlessly into an electric guitar vibe and you will hear traces of John Scofield's best work, early Pat Metheny, or closer, the wonderful band Bass Desires. But since very little of this music is in 4/4, the sum proves greater than these parts, yielding a strange, fresh, edgy but beguiling synthesis unlike anything else today. This music will appeal to listeners into genre blending: Weather Report, Return to Forever, Snarky Puppy, Hiromi, Esperanza Spalding. It also will speak to adventurous audiophiles who aren’t hardcore jazzheads but love boundary-pushing a la Radiohead, Tigran Hamasyan, or Jacob Collier. In other words, those who cross genres while preserving artistic depth.
