Performing organic jazz in the classic trio/quartet/quintet settings, this unit strives to embody the jazz improvising spirit of the 60's - communication. Playing selections of standards linked together in one organic mish-mash of sonic goodness, this unit brings classic jazz themes and powerful Brownman compositions into the future. This is the new generation of jazz." - The Jazz Journey, CHRY Radio
