“With a tone that’s lithe and lustrous, Kristen Strom embodies her musical philosophy in every note she plays.” —San Jose Mercury News “In a jazz sea positively overflowing with darting and sprinting and flat-out-ferocious young tenor saxophonists, Ben Flocks is one to catch.” —Joshua Redman New York-based but locally grown, Ben Flocks brings a distinctly California approach to jazz, cleverly blending styles while keeping true to the commitment of improvisation. Kristen Strom and guitarist Scott Sorkin’s stunning arrangements showcase the music of the late bassist John Shifflet, who was a great friend and contributor to SJW, and to jazz music in the Bay Area and beyond.
