Michael Webster - Momentus [CD]

New York-based saxophonist and composer Michael Webster presents a collection of nine original compositions featuring trumpeter Ingrid Jensen and vibist Chris Dingman, along with some of the leading NYC jazz musicians of his generation. Working with all the textural and orchestral options his sextet allows, Webster stretches the possibilities of form while never losing his focus on the strength and clarity of the melodies."Michael Webster's creations are long, unfurling musical journeys chock full of content. Singable melodies come swathed in a background of advanced, modern harmonies and adventurous, challenging rhythms." - The Ottawa Citizen
