Forest Through the Trees

Combining carefully crafted compositions, tight arrangements and freely improvised passages, the Phil Mosberg Quartet represents some of the best that the young Chicago free jazz scene has to offer. Their debut album, Forest Through the Trees, is a dizzying display of high octane playing mixed with elegant moody passages all delivered with the kind of energy that you've come to expect from Chicago jazz. Features Phil Mosberg (guitar/compositions), Jon Irabagon (tenor sax, alto sax, clarinet), Nate Bakkum (bass) and Vance Okraszewski (drums).
