Humble Origins

Now in their 6th year of performing together, the collective of saxophonist Brent Jensen, pianist Bill Anschell, bassist Jeff Johnson, and drummer John Bishop continue to display their richly empathetic approach to melody and rhythm as they explore a new set of originals on their third recording together. From Jensen's swinging tribute to mentor Lee Konitz, "All of Lee," to Bill Anschell's completely original take of the Beatles' "Fixing a Hole," the group allows the music to flow, displaying a patient rapport that reveals moments worthy of many repeated listens."A great rapport these artists have developed over the years... their lines merge and unwind with endless invention."
