Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded in front of an enthusiastic collegiate audience, the alto saxophonist and flutist leads a highly nimble quartet through incredibly intricate, classically tinged arrangements. The wonderfully airy, seamlessly contrapuntal interplay beautifully represents the highly intellectualized, sunny aesthetics of California jazz.
