Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded during a intensive three-day session in March 2025, the album highlights the saxophonist's mastery of extended improvisational structures. The arrangements favor a tight quartet dynamic, allowing for spontaneous interplay between the woodwinds and the polyrhythmic foundations provided by the rhythm section. It serves as a meditation on the persistence of musical legacy and the 'ghosts' of past jazz innovators influencing modern technical standards.
