Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Mid Spiral: Chaos' introduces the first installment of a dynamic trilogy exploring highly playful, deeply rhythmic instrumental jazz fusion. The trio balances remarkably warm, technically proficient jazz-funk grooves with subtle, improvisational rock energy. It served as a highly acclaimed, vibrant return to their foundational, groove-oriented band dynamic following a lengthy period of prominent hip-hop production work.
