Jaffe's MANHATTAN PROJECTIONS is an album of the jazz composer/pianist's works for small band repertoire. This rerelease of the jazz classic includes the origi-¼nal 7 works from the 1984 debut, the McDaniels session tracks from the 2001 Playscape reissue, plus 3 bonus tracks from the Tom McClung-Andy Jaffe piano trio exclusive to this . Jaffe has been praised for his bold harmonic leaps and deft understanding of the intricacies of writing for both big and small band.

Iconic drummer Simon Phillips is known worldwide for appearances with Toto, The Who, Jeff Beck, Al Di Meola, Hiromi, Stanley Clarke and his own group, Protocol. Simon continues to evolve as a composer on the exciting new Protocol 6 album. As he says, InchThe material is actually quite different from Protocol V. With the band now in it's sixth year, I was able to write specifically for each player. It's my rock 'n' roll side that dictates the form of each tune, even though the style is definitely jazz-rock. I like to call it progressive jazz.Inch The lineup in this road-tested outfit remains constant except that Phillip Whack now holds down the saxophone chair, playing tenor, alto and soprano with great authority.
