about

Tracks recorded between 2021 and 2023 with varying versions of the ensemble.
A manifesto on the attitude we think is missing from jazz, aka "clean production doesn't hide bullshit music." Consider this a statement of intent and a warning. This is "stick a mic in front of it and pray" music, not high-class wine sipping jazz club music.
Jazz is a free and open conversation between you and me; are you listening?
