The riveting music encompasses multi-layered compositions and a diverse palette of sounds, ranging from straight ahead to bebop and world. After playing together for many years and recording two CDs, the quintet has melded into a tight-knit force of boundless creativity, energy, and technical virtuosity. The ensemble spirit is complimented by daring improvisation and a dynamic set list, mostly originals composed by Randolph, who hopes to touch your soul with his music. www.FredRandolph.com
