NEW ALBUM · COMING SOON
Music for Big Band
New compositions for a full big band, with memorable melodies, polyrhythms, and shifting textures. Written in Kansas City, shaped by film music, modern classical, and indie rock.
“An enticingly fresh sound under the venerable big band umbrella.”
DownBeat, on Hazel
“A remarkable debut album.”
The New York Times, on Hazel
“Almost certainly one of the year’s most exciting statements by a locally based musician.”
Plastic Sax, on Wobble EP
