Jacob Shulman: Connectedness

Rich toned alto saxist Jacob Shulman leads a quartet of Avery Logan/dr, Hayoung Lyou/p and Simon Willson/b through a mix of original post bop material. His sound gets big on the fragmented “Boiling” while declaratory on “Opening Up”. He slides into blue over Willson’s bass line on the mellow “Ordinary” and dances around Logan’s drums on tiptoes for the nimble “Nadir” and sears through the clip clop of “Long Line”. He takes an easy stroll on the dark “A Crack In The Ice” and shows wonderment over Logan’s brushes on “Viridian Forrest”. A hint of a Cannonball goes a long way.
