Despommier, Randal - South

A melting pot of "cross-pollinated jazz" ranging from lyrical, transporting originals to imaginative reinventions of a popular Italian film ballad, the album presents wildly ambitious, genre-mashing recordings that speak to Despommiers wide-ranging influences. His forthcoming New Orleans-roots album South features Crescent City jazz legends Johnny Vidacovich, David Torkanowsky, and James Singleton.
