Details:
I’ve always loved the music like Herbie Hancock’s ‘Watermelon Man’ and ‘Mercy Mercy’ by Weather Report as well as the music of Horace Silver, Dave Brubeck and Bobby Timmons amongst others. I thought that the direction jazz took in that time period of early fusion was a good idea: It was funky, contemporary, popular and drew upon a lot of new sources for inspiration and yet it had its roots in traditional jazz. On Stars and Wind, you will hear a traditional jazz quintet featuring rhythm section and two horns yet stylistically we explore a broad range of music including funk, latin, traditional, progressive, new orleans second line, bossa and latin. This is contemporary jazz composition from a traditional jazz perspective. Enjoy!
