Synopsis

Album Description

Slow Breath, Silent Mind captures the recent journeys of Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey as they traversed the United States on their Fall 2003 tour. Produced and compiled by bass player Reed Mathis, this collection of jazz standards captures the unique brilliance of this trio. The opening track In A Sentimental Mood exemplifies the progressive creativity of JFJO on a standard classic by Duke Ellington. Reed?s Octave Induced Acoustic Bass carries your soul through the tune but does not over shadow the greatness of Brian Haas and Jason Smart. Each member contributes an original composition and one collective composition but the album is mainly comprised of tastefully selected cover songs.

CD Reviews

Everything Old is New Again

Alonzo | Middle America | 10/31/2005

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Something to appreciate about these gentlemen is that they are formally highly trained musicians and also experientially steeped in the history and literature of jazz. Their music is filled with allusions to the patriarchs and iconic performances of the genre. Importantly, they have built on this knowledge and, with profound technical skill, carried forward the development of America's classical music. You can witness this on the first track, Ellington's In a Sentimental Mood. I live in their home town and have followed them since they were doing gigs at local street fairs. This is how I would summarize my observation:

They have heard it all.

They have forgotten nothing.

They have told us everything.
