Patrick Zimmerli Ensemble, Explosion
(SGL 1508-2)

Tenor saxophonist and Monk Institute award-winning composer incorporates the extended harmonic, rhythmic and melodic vocabularies of contemporary classical music in a jazz context; the result is challenging yet often unexpectedly lyrical music. With Ben Monder (guitar), Stomu Takeishi (fretless electric bass) and Satoshi Takeishi (percussion).

**** “A young tenorman looking in a different direction, expanding on modernist concepts... The quartet devises well-crafted tunes of ambiguous harmony and surprising details.”
—Art Lange, Pulse!

“Pat's an important, important musician... He's really pushing the limits...”
—Kevin Hays, Jazz Times
