A Mantra is a simple phrase which, with concentration and repetition, can take the speaker on a spiritual journey.
The second Cascade Jazz Trio recording, Mantras, focuses on a more direct and pared down approach to many jazz standards. Still featuring the phenomenal skills of John Chmaj on keyboards and flute, Court Crawford on bass, and Brian Gmerek on drums, the trio breathes new life into several tunes you've heard probably hundreds of times before, as well as a few rare gems and originals. Recorded by Colm Meek at Avast II Studios in Seattle, the sound quality is impeccable; a great step forward in audio quality from the previous Cascade Jazz Trio release.

Mantras
author: Rob Vernon
A very nice listen. I like small jazz combos, and this three-piece does some very nice renditions of some familiar standards that are quite unique and inventive. All three musicians are obviously quite talented, and if you like jazz flute, you'll like John's inventive riffing. I remember hanging out at John's house during our high school years, and John was already a fairly accomplished piano player with a broad range of musical interest. His years at Berklee School of Music definatly paid off. The trio play together and listen to each other well, creating a cohesive flow. Well done, boys!
