Saxophonist Shawn Maxwell's musicianship has been lauded by fellow
musicians and critics alike as he's become one the preeminent performers
in Chicago jazz. With several recordings featuring his quartet or his
sonically expanded 'Alliance,' Shawn Maxwell's New Tomorrow adds the
singular trumpet voices of three of Chicago's finest - Victor Garcia,
Chad McCullough, Corey Wilkes - to his working quartet for a set of 9
modern, electric originals with 5 short interludes. Focusing on
composition as much as improvisation, the quintets reveal stunning
melodies hidden within complex time signatures, textures and grooves.
