BABKAS
(SGL 1502-2)

Debut of ex-Seattle free/power trio: Briggan Krauss (alto sax), Aaron Alexander (drums), Brad Shepik (guitar). Moody high-wire jazz includes rock and Balkan influences.

“Babkas knows how to blend freely inspired improvisational abandon with disciplined artistic selectivity and taste... Often dramatic and always unique... Highly recommended.”
—Carl Baugher, Cadence

“Excellent debut... The ideas fly furiously, thick arrangements unleashing a deluge of phrases and turns. Toe-tapping, finger snapping is out... bone-cracking, mind-wracking is in.”
—;Peter Margasak, Butt Rag
