Notes
The group’s raison d’etre has always been to tell narrative musical stories, through jazz based on root American forms. They do so exceptionally here. On Landmarks, the Fellowship Band continues its exploration of American folk styles in a highly original, thoroughly modern jazz, rich in harmonic inquiry and rhythmic attraction, with compositions that speak from the mysterious heart of song itself.
