Unprecedented Time by Abe Pollack
A few years ago, I kept wondering, is there room for originality in traditional jazz, klezmer, and swing? Can vintage styles, which were once novel, sound fresh again? I began writing and recording original music, obsessing over this idea. And today I believe the answer is yes.
