Jessica Jones Quartet’s ‘Continuum’ on Reva Records:
The ensemble wields such a confident understanding of its powers that the troupe is able to portray a straightahead ethos and then pare back its instrumentation to a single saxophone and bass while transforming “I Want To Talk About You” into a questing, slowly paced ballad.
JESSICA JONES QUARTET
innovative. eclectic.
The Jessica Jones Quartet is an improvising jazz ensemble that performs inventive experimental music derived from the jazz tradition using structured original compositions as a framework for freer improvisation.
By combining the twin tenor saxophones of Jessica and Tony Jones with bass and drums, the group creates an exciting, robust new soundscape.
A reunion of sorts, their latest album MOXIE, features the innovative and energetic rhythm section of drummer Kenny Wollesen and bassist Stomu Takeishi, who are original members of the band from the 1980s.
