Called “the most visceral and distinctive alto saxophonist of this era” by The New York Times, Darius Jones’ incisive work “poses big questions about the relationship between the African-American tradition of spirituals, blues and gospel, and now” (The Wire). Pianist Angelica Sanchez “likes building structures and breaking free of them” (New York Times). Eschewing decoration, Sanchez focuses on meaningful gestures, “acutely aware of the implications of a phrase” (NYC Jazz Record). Equally artful in melody and madness, cellist Peggy Lee has “an ability to make music that is simultaneously adventurous and warm” (Georgia Straight). Multi-dimensional drummer Dylan van der Schyff “has a gentle touch and a malleable way with time” (JazzTimes).
