An inexpressably inventive premier musician. --Mid-Atlantic Jazz Festival
Product Description
Brian Settles brings his buttery, powerful sax tone to his Engine Studios debut recording, along
with a longstanding playing relationship with the musicians who make up Central Union. The
listener hears mindful improvisation from those years of playing together, and the unexpected
compositional dynamics of an inside/outside leader. The record combines two sets one with
piano, bass, and drums (tracked at an opera singers rehearsal space near Carnegie Hall) and a
smaller more rhythmic session with drums, percussion, and sax. Secret Handshake deftly respects
the jazz tradition while trying to extend it at the same time.

I didn't know about Brian Settles until he showed up with his band on the Millennium Stage at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. After listening to that performance I was happy to download the MP3, because he blows a good sax and I loved his progressive jazz. It is very mellow, yet includes some advanced elements so that you can enjoy it no matter where you are on the spectrum. Download, and enjoy!
