Over the course of ten tracks, including nine originals, alto saxophonist Caleb Curtis, tenor saxophonist Kenny Pexton, bassist Adam Coté and drummer Shawn Baltazor showcase their highly individual and explosive musical personalities as they explore the possibilities of collective development and improvisation. “All four men are well-matched, willing to follow each other down any path or split up to explore different corners of the same structure.” --Dan Bilawsky, All About Jazz

Internationally renowned saxophonist, composer, and educator Dayna Stephens has been named “an artist full of composure and imagination" by Downbeat Magazine and “a must see” by the New York Times.
