about

Excerpt from the liner notes:

In 1959 Ornette Coleman stated the following: “Modern Jazz, once so daring and revolutionary, has become rather settled and conventional.” Throughout its history the masters of each generation took their study of the past to constantly reshape the music in the present, ever looking forward to the future. I am indebted to Louis, Prez, Bird, Dizzy, Monk, Miles, Ornette and Trane to name a few who have set the bar so incredibly high. This CD is my attempt to use the past to create music in the present that challenges our beliefs and understandings of what we think or are told Jazz “should be.” I would ask that you approach this music with no preconceived ideas or expectations, instead I ask you to listen with an open mind.
