ust by Unc D

'ust' is a nu-jazz / jazz funk album with an extended trio rhythm section of bass, drums, piano/synth & rhodes/clav. The album consists of six (6) 'splice' singles and their respective unedited versions. While released exclusively on band camp in October 2024, this 12-track album will not be on streaming services until April 2025, as part of a wider effort to have a year's worth of weekly releases uploaded to streaming services by Jan 1st.

Recorded on a Monday evening in late January 2024 at a jazz club in Cleveland, this session was meant to be highly improvisational while also taking advantage of the presence of Andru Dennis and his ability to blaze key solos over changes. I wrote the changes while en route from Youngstown to Cleveland, intentionally with only chords written and leaning on group improvising. This was our first time playing together as a group, although Andru, Thin Thicket and I have worked together in the past. In October 2024, I revisited these session tapes and splice edited the long takes into single-length highlight reel versions,

I INVENTED MUMBLE JAZZ and generally mix instrumental improvisation and electronic beat making.
