The sound is modern, fresh, and unique, presenting latin rhythms, odd meters, tight ensemble passages, and extended solos.
Chris forges ahead into brand new territory on Arlington Park, Territorial Imperative, Palmettos, Interlude, Let The Cat Out, Awakenings, The Rose Of Shalamar, The Iguana, Eventide, and Different Strokes.]]></description>
