Quartet Plus, Volume 2

Guitarist/composer Mason Razavi offers nine original tunes and a cover of "Caravan" on this augmented quartet performance. The remaining quartet members are Bennett Roth-Newell (piano, keys), Dan Robbins (acoustic, electric bass), and Cody Rhodes (drums). The group is expanded to a nonet for the second half of the program with additional players Justin Smith (trumpet, flugelhorn), Ben Torres (alto sax, clarinet), Oscar Pangilinan (tenor, soprano sax), Kevin Bryson (trombone) and Alex Murzyn (bari sax, bass clarinet, clarinet). The sound is modern fusion jazz even when revisiting "Caravan" (the song that knows no limitations!). This is his fourth disc and it is truly a wonderful jazz fusion experience.
