New Past

JC Sanford follows up his two previous trio albums (Imminent Standards Vol. 1 & 2) with a decidedly different approach to the trio format. Featuring pianist Michael Cain and bassist Anthony Cox, New Past delves into Sanford’s diverse compositional style and improvisational approach. From collective improvisations to complex harmonic forms and grooves, the trio traverses a vast sonic and textural world of Sanford’s original compositions, with a smattering of interpretations of jazz standards.
