Benn Stapp just put out a new Album. You all should check it out. Amazing jazz tubist/composer......
Features Tony Malaby on Tenor and Soprano Saxophones, Satoshi Takeishi on Percussion, and Benjamin Stapp on tuba; all original music by the tubist. These composition seek to combine elements of written music, specified harmonic improvisations(changes) and open forms in a seemless and organic way. The musicians' harmonic and rhythmic language correspond intimately with the compositions creating a unified form. Satoshi's taiko like percussion kit creates a deep and rich atmosphere. With the addition of tuba for the bass role, a surreal rhythmic soundscape is created. Tony's harmonically complex and lyrically concise sensibilities carry this group into yet another realm. The end result: ECSTASIS.
