24-year-old pianist Kris Bowers, winner of the 2011 Thelonious Monk
International Jazz Piano Competition, is releasing his debut Concord
Jazz recording. Inspiration for the songs are the highly accelerated
technological advancements of today, and the resulting power for those
that use them. The talented sextet reflects this with playing rooted in
jazz, but also reflective of an eclectic musical age (think Robert
Glasper and José James). Guest vocalists include Julia Easterlin, José
James & Chris Turner.
