With adventurous ears Brad Shepik has immersed himself in music near and far â€' rock, jazz, free improv, reggae, 20th century classical, and traditional musics of many kinds (American, Celtic, Balkan, Arabic, Turkish, Persian, Indonesian, West African…). But no matter what the basic materials, he always attends to the creative process and its expressive potential, beyond styles and categories. And purely on the level of musical invention this is technically advanced, elegantly integrated, beautifully detailed jazz improvising. It’s also pretty soulful. The trio has a knack for honing in on the heart of the music, reflecting both the exhilaration of collective creation and the subtler emotional tints unique to each piece.
