Album Notes & Community Reviews

Driven by the crisp, driving snare work of an influential Chicago-style percussionist, this session is a vital entry in the mid-century traditional jazz revival. The enthusiastic collective improvisation pays direct homage to the early, polyphonic excitement of authentic 1920s hot jazz ensembles.
