Album Notes & Community Reviews

Continuing his refined exploration of linear improvisation, the alto saxophonist weaves intricate, vibrato-less melodies alongside a highly responsive rhythm section. The session epitomizes the intellectual rigor and structural clarity associated with the Tristano school of jazz.
