Info for Breaking Stretch

"Breaking Stretch” expands on the rhythmic and percussive signature of my More Touch quartet. That quartet (with Kim Cass, Marcus Gilmore and Mauricio Herrera ) is now joined by three horns carrying unique rhythmic capabilities: Adam O’Farrill on trumpet, Jon Irabagon on alto and sopranino saxophones, and Mark Shim on tenor.

On this album, I seek to create depth through the exploration of density and shifting rhythmic layers, and by using orchestral techniques that create what might be called broadness: essentially, depth through width, width through depth. For instance, I use extreme ranges, asking the horn players to explore the outer edges of their sonic envelopes in my written material and their improvisations.
