Read "Dawning" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


A sense of melody seems to be sacrificed in a lot of modern jazz these days, as newcomers try to get some press as the next big thing by subscribing to a stranger-is-better aesthetic. Matteo Sabattini is a rare exception, an alto saxophonist whose music is unique in its provision of comfort and a natural sense ...

Drummer Nathaniel Smith's music can be characterized as modern jazz that often finds serenity in searching, angular confines.
