Jorgensen,Matt Tattooed By Passion: Music Inspired By Paintings CD

Inspired by the paintings of his late father-in-law, the prominent abstract-impressionist artist Dale Chisman, drummer Matt Jorgensen has created a recording of all original works drawing influence directly from Chisman paintings, his home city of Denver, his lifelong friends, and his constant reinvention as an artist. To properly reflect the power and expanse of Chisman's pieces, Jorgensen, along with trumpeter Thomas Marriott, saxophonist Mark Taylor, guitarist Corey Christiansen, and bassist Dave Captein, expands his own palette from previous recordings, exploring broad new textures and musical landscapes."No one playing in this format-with the exception of perhaps Vijay Iyer-has crafted a more distinctive jazz identity.
