SHAWN MAXWELL’S NEW TOMORROW IS A QUINTET MADE UP OF FIVE OF CHICAGO’S FINEST MUSICIANS. PERFORMING ALL ORIGINAL MATERIAL, THEY SPECIALIZE IN A STYLE OF JAZZ THAT IS HEAVILY INFLUENCED AND BLENDED WITH SEVERAL OTHER MODERN GENRES. FOCUSING ON COMPOSITION JUST AS MUCH AS IMPROVISATION, THEY REVEAL STUNNING MELODIES HIDDEN WITHIN COMPLEX TIME SIGNATURES. THIS NEW APPROACH IN MAXWELL’S WRITING BRINGS A PERFECT BLEND OF COMPOSITION AND IMPROVISATION FOR A NEW DIRECTION IN JAZZ.
The band will be playing in support of their new album, Music in My Mind, which is now streaming. Check out Shawn Maxwell’s site for further information.
