Scheduled for release in October, 2011, “The Line Up” will be contemporary jazz artist Jeff Richman’s sixteenth solo project. The new cd includes 12 new tracks and will be available from iTunes and Amazon.
Exploring and expanding the boundaries of contemporary jazz, the odd metered time signatures, key changes, rhythm variations, polyphony, improvisation and tempos are overcome by the band as they weave in and out of these original compositions by Richman. On three of the tracks Richman, Forman, Taylor and Taba take artistic liberties into their own hands with their shared composition of jam tracks “It’s All One”, “Square Root” and “Right Here, Right Now”.
