Jeff Denson Quartet: Concentric Circles
by Jerome Wilson
The immediate standout feature of Jeff Denson's group is that he uses a bassoon as the reed instrument. That gives an interesting twist to the quartet's sound.

Anybody who's heard him wildly deconstruct a standard with pianist Dan Tepfer, ...
