Synopsis

Album Description
"[Willis'] sound mingles Pharaoh Sanders with David Sanborn ... the swinging side of tension-and-release is never out of view for a moment." - JAZZIZ Cross-inspired by Erik Satie and the precision-randomness paradox of quantum physics; infused with creative improvised music, jazz, and psychedelic seventies and eighties rock. Dan Willis is known for his work in jazz, Broadway, classical, and improvised new music. Versatile, limber septet includes prolific drummer/composer John Hollenbeck, leader of the Grammy-nominated John Hollenbeck Large Ensemble and Claudia Quintet. Mix of jazz, rock, psychedelia, and classical appeals to baby boomer audience starved for engaging new music, as well as new music and jazz fans.
