With no prior discussion of musical direction or parameters, the group begins playing, and their collective musical instincts, experience, ideas, influences, sensitivity, and energy are immediately engaged, the music unfolding in the present moment in a spontaneous and purely honest manner. The result is music that takes the musicians and the listeners on an enthralling sonic journey in which a full spectrum of creative jazz and improvised music’s deep, grand, and noble traditions can be discerned. With each distinctive accomplished artist contributing his own unique voice to the unified musical amalgam, the band emerges as a captivating representation of the concept that serves as its name: Dependent Origination, where each present element is dependent on one another in order to manifest, and do so beautifully.
