Although strongly compositional, this album of Stick solos and duos
with drums has a live improvised flow, one idea seeming to spawn the
next. What stands out is Steve's adventurous sense of harmonic
movement, disciplined and cultivated in jazz, yet framed in youthful
rhythmic games and constructs - playful accents in odd meters between
Stick and drums. This album has a guiding artistic concept and style,
placing it uniquely within a living jazz-rock genre. Matt Houston's
drums and Steve's trumpet add loads of color and intelligent dialogue
to this Stick featured CD.

Steve performs a wide variety of mostly originals, playing Stick and
some trumpet in well-recorded duos with drums and percussion. His Stick
is a compositional tool, and he elicits from it some remarkable
textures, natural string timbres, as well as some daring jazz chord
progressions and harmonic discoveries.
