The virtuosic, shape-shifting guitarist/composer and Esperanza Spalding collaborator releases his second album as a bandleader, a kinetic exploration of harmony and rhythm driven by masterful playing and singular melding of experimental, jazz and rock. NPR’s Nate Chinen praises album opener “Picture Window” as music that “advances the ideals of modern jazz even when, sonically speaking, it gestures in other directions.”
