When eminent jazz practitioners with shared histories convene in the studio without rehearsal or preparatory gigs, a perfunctory, by-the-numbers session is often the outcome. That is decidedly not the case on Solid Jackson, whose personnel (four of whom participated on the well-wrought 1994 album, Consenting Adults), reside in any hardcore jazz connoisseur's "top five." This second gathering of M.T.B. (titled for the surnames of Brad Mehldau, Mark Turner and Peter Bernstein - with Larry Grenadier and Bill Stewart rounding out the quintet) is an intense, focused recital that reinforces the exalted position each member holds in the jazz landscape. Everyone listens. No one overplays or goes for "house." Recorded in November 2024 with sound engineer Mike Marciano at the Samurai Hotel Recording Studio, NYC. Available on limited-edition 180g virgin vinyl in gatefold jacket.
