Joyfire

by Ted Olsen

supported by

Kenne Thomas Modernity is an evolutionary process. Each decade, often in division presents a stylistic concept representing the social climate of the time.
Here, Ted Olsen uses structures, based on previous musical/modal building blocks to create music; artistic and exploratory in nature.
The ensemble, craftsmen in their own elements gels perfectly on the compositions. A smooth earthy feel propels the listener to soaring plateau.
Aaron's bountiful sax is exemplary. The masterful keyboardist, Javi Santiago supports, blends and stands out with creative linear melodies on a rhythmic foundation, laid by drummer Hurtado.
This is truly jazz for the modern age.
