Jenny Hill - Floating.jpg

Floating

by Jenny Hill

Jenny's newest and fifth CD, Floating, was composed during the pandemic and recorded at The Bunker Studios in Brooklyn. The quintet is Jenny Hill on saxes and flute, Allison Philips on trumpet and flugelhorn, Manu Koch on piano, Eduardo Belo on bass, and Todd Isler on drums.

Floating features the colors of the soprano sax and flute with flugelhorn, and also has the traditional pairing of tenor sax and trumpet on the faster, funkier and swing tunes. These 7 compositions highlight various themes such as jazz plus tango, the Brazilian Northeast, a relaxing jazz waltz, straight eighth driving pulses, and contemplative moments.
