Various Artists - Piece of Mind - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Piece of Mind is an all-star group that features some of the most talented voices in jazz today. The concept of the group was inspired by the VSOP Quintet from the late 1970s with the intention of being both a touring and recording group. During his career, Rose has worked with each member of the group at different times, as have the other members. The new collective brings together the highly regarded players who, when united onstage, deliver an exciting and fluid musical experience. In Spring 2019, the group recorded their first album, presented here, which features highlights from their series of live concerts at the Blue Llama in Ann Arbor, MI. Members of the group include Adonis Rose drums; Tia Fuller alto sax; Maurice Brown trumpet; Sasha Masakowski vocals; Miki Hayama piano; and Jasen Weaver bass.
