Album Notes

Primordial Jazz Funktet plays soulful intense jazz that tells stories. Singer Maya Azucena joins the Funktet for half of these tunes, mostly written by pianist Dan Furman. "Merry-Go-Round" leads off the CD with a funky 7/4 feel. The band also reinterprets the lyrics to the classic "Summertime" and presents a new take on s a Stevie Wonder classic, "Visions." The players take often exploratory and intense solos over the grooves laid down by Furman, Hernandez, and Padmore. PJF is:

Maya Azucena, vocals
Dan Furman, piano
Joel Frahm, sax
Yoshiro Okazaki, trumpet
Alex Henandez, bass
Luciana Padmore, drums
