The Ralph Bowen Quartet - Project - "Amazing Journey" (Full Version)

The Ralph Bowen Quartet Project

…A rare glimpse into the world of modern progressive jazz.

You’ve got a VIP pass to go behind the scenes at the rehearsal, the recording studio and the jazz club and hear from world-class professional jazz artists on their craft and how their choices of equipment enhance the tone, the sound and the feeling of their music. You will hear interviews from Donald Edwards (drums), Kenny Davis (bass), Jim Ridl (piano) and saxophonist, Ralph Bowen himself, talking about the coming together of the group for the recording session at Steve Jankowski’s “Jankland Recording” studio and the gig at Small’s Jazz Club in New York City. Interspersed between the interviews are the three songs tracked at the studio. “Drumheller Valley” and “In My Dreams” by Ralph Bowen and “30 Foot Ceiling” by Jim Ridl. Each song showcases the quartet’s dynamic range of sound tapestries woven from the fabric of these highly talented, seasoned professionals.
The group hopes you enjoy this unprecedented front-row seat. So sit back, relax and enjoy!
