Taking Shape
by Kaisa's Machine
supported by 8 fans who also own “Ascent”
This album captivated me quickly. The listener can hear the high energy of New York through their instrumentation and I love It! One example of this I throughly enjoy is their implementation of accelerando (speeding up the tempo) throughout songs. If you enjoy contemporary jazz this album is worth your attention.

Path of Totality
by Quinsin Nachoff
supported by 7 fans who also own “Ascent”
Creative, fresh, continuously surprising - this is the first album I've bought that is not straight-ahead jazz. Nachoff has won me over with brilliant writing, brilliant musicianship, and evocative arrangements. Just when a solo seems to have completed its exploration of a musical statement, for one example, the low sonorities of a beautiful synth line jump in to add gorgeous texture and to take the musical idea into fascinating territory. Bravo!
