Short Tracks: CHRIS GREENE QUARTET – BOUNDARY ISSUES (2017)

Share This Post

 Evanston, Illinois-based Chris Greene’s music always makes for great road music, and Boundary Issues is no exception. Greene and his long-term band blend stunning new compositions like “Thunder Snow (written by piano player Damian Espinosa) and “The Crossover Appeal” (written by Greene) with daring and original interpretations of masterworks by Horace Silver (“Nico’s Dream”) and Kenny Kirkland (“Dienda”). The combination works, as the front line has a telepathic relationship with the rhythm section of bassist/composer Marc Piane and drummer Steve Corley. Boundary Issues has a more aggressive, funkier feel than Music Appreciation, but is unmistakably jazz played by master players who continue to evolve.
