Synopsis

Product Description
Plunge's second release. This unusual trio - comprised of three of New Orleans' preeminent modern jazz players, MARK McGRAIN on trombone, TIM GREEN on saxophones, and JAMES SINGLETON on bass -- is notable for its propulsive, progressive approach, breadth of style and range, melodies that soar across the sonic space and a relentless rhythmic base. The combo roots itself in a blend of traditions that combines the endurance and euphoria of a New Orleans brass band funking its way down the street and the cool, cerebral musings of modernist cross-over groove merchants the likes of Medeski, Martin, and Wood, and Stanton Moore. McGrain's compositions often resemble the work of contemporary instrumental songsmiths Bill Frisell, and Jenny Scheinman, and at times the electro adventurism of Marco Benevento.
