Shawn Maxwell’s New Tomorrow: Music In My Mind

Leader Shawn Maxwell plays alto sax, flute and clarinet with his core ream of Matt Nelson/p-key, Junius Paul/b, Phil Beale/dr while rotating around Dee Alexander/voc, Victor Garcia-Chad McCullough-Corey Wilkes/tp, Patrick Mulcahhy-Tim Seisser/eb, Stephen Lynerd/vib and Kalyan Pathak/perc. His compositions create a wide variety of moods, forming swirling polyphonies with the horns on “Our Princess is In Another Castle” and the changing dynamo “Another Monday.” The keyboards create a hip and funky mood as trumpet and alto team with Dee Alexander’s voice on  “Maxwel’s House” while his flute grooves on “Glamasue” and ”He Gone.” The team forms rich and alluring textures on the warm and embracing title track as Alexander, Garcia and Maxwell create a molten gold paste of sound. Soulful soul sounds.
