Album Notes & Community Reviews

Splitting an incredibly prestigious festival billing, this release beautifully contrasts complex, polytonal piano structures with a remarkably fluid, dual-trombone frontline. The wonderfully relaxed, highly sophisticated cool jazz improvisations perfectly captured the breezy, highly intellectual atmosphere of the iconic Rhode Island gathering.
