About the album
Four musicians with a long interconnected history come together to weave their stories, intertwine their art and push forward in new directions. Saxophonist Geof Bradfield, trumpeter Chad McCullough, bassist Clark Sommers, and drummer Kobie Watkins are frequently called upon by some of the most revered names in music (Sonny Rollins, Kurt Elling, Randy Weston, Wayne Horvitz to name just a few), solidifying their place not just as side-men but as contributing artists. The collective spirit is apparent throughout the group's debut album as they take a free-wheeling approach on "Little Marionette," and "Camping Lantern," display a depth of mood and character on the pensive "Oranges...," or twist and turn through Bradfield's "You Will Look for Yours on Earth."
Vier Musiker, deren gemeinsame Geschichte viele Jahre zurückreicht, kommen zusammen, um ihre Geschichten zu weben, ihre Kunst zu verbinden und neue Wege zu beschreiten. Nach zahlreichen Kollaborationen mit einigen Jazzgrößen wie Sonny Rollins oder Wayne Horvitz haben sie sich ihren Platz als aktiv zum Geschehen betragende Musiker gefestigt und lassen auf dieser CD nun ihre gemeinsame Vision hören, sei es im tiefgreifend-nachdenklichen „Oranges“ oder dem körperlichen „You Will Look for Yours on Earth“.
