Album Notes & Community Reviews

Captured during a brief period of personal stability, the alto saxophonist delivers intensely lyrical solos that bridge the gap between cool detachment and profound emotional vulnerability. The sparse quartet setting exposes a raw, biting tone that completely subverts the tranquil stereotypes associated with California jazz.
