Two of my favorite modern jazz musicians are alto saxophone player, Greg Ward and vibraphonist, Jason Adasiewicz. Both play straight-ahead jazz with a slight bent or avant nuance that makes their conception accessible yet highly original. Hence while this group of musicians (rounded out by Joshua Abrams on bass, Quin Kirchner on drums) plays in familiar, melodic territory, they lend a freshness and spark to what might otherwise be mundane or at least common. All in all, original yet accessible music manifested through natural, analog sound — unique music but very accessible. Engineering by Anthony Gravino of High Cross Sound.
