About the Album

"Cliff's Edge" is opening track on new album "What Survives" - a collection of original jazz recordings inspired by Tobin Mueller's Broadway musical, "Creature". Contemporary big band fusing jazz and funk, featuring Mueller's dynamic B3 organ playing as well as two superbly hip sax solos by Doug Schneider (tenor) and Woody Mankowski (soprano). "One of the freshest and most sheerly entertaining, intriguing and exciting recordings I've come across. The product of Tobin Mueller's kaleidoscopic mind. Highly recommended." - Brad Walseth, JazzChicago
