Seattle trumpeter Jay Roulston's music is an expedition into the remote regions of creative and experimental jazz. His carefully crafted compositions provide an integral structure, but leave plenty of room for improvisation, both collective and individual. The ideas of the other musicians in the group (Byron Vannoy - drums, Geoff Harper - electric bass, Beck Henderer-Pena - guitar) are given plenty of room to roam, and their evocative ensemble playing is characterized by close attention to the density, timbre and color of each sound, and the way those sounds interact. Rather than venture into the unknown with reckless abandon, Jay Roulston's Monkey Mind Control steps forward with a calm focus, confident in their ability to creatively illuminate the under explored terrain invocated by their intrepid investigations.
