| With Sacred Machines, the New York City-based saxophonist showcases his intricate ensemble writing with a band of top-flight creative musicians, including pianist Roberta Piket, flutist Jamie Baum, bassist Gary Wang and drummer Jeff Hirshfield. With the front line of tenor sax and alto flute navigating his thoughtful, interweaving melody lines, White creates textures steeped in tradition but with modern qualities reminiscent of Dave Holland's groups or those of his montors, Jerry Bergonzi and George Garzone. |
