Moving Day: The Music of John Shifflett

Kristen Strom (soprano, alto, tenor sax, flute, clarinet) offers a beautiful tribute to her late friend and musical colleague by showcasing seven of his compositions and closing with a song of special significance for him. Scott Sorkin (guitar) and Ken Okada (bass) were also members of the quartet, which is completed by Jason Lewis (drums, percussion, vibes). There are several other musicians who guested as well: Dahveed Behroozi and John R. Burr (piano), Aaron Lington (bari sax, bass clarinet), Jeff Lewis and John Worley (trumpet, cornet, flugelhorn), John Gove (trombone) and Dan Robbins (bass). The performances are varied and beautiful.
