Risks taken and rules broken, young masters of acoustic jazz play soaring improvisations on modern, edgy compositions which tear down the old structures, then lovingly reconstruct them.
Bio / Background
Read what The Washington Post had to say about "Knot the Thought that Counts" by COMPLEXBLUE:
The local jazz ensemble ComplexBlue is the brainchild of percussionist and vibist Lex O'Brien, a musician who clearly loves to experiment with colors, contrasts, and contexts.
   The fine print on the band's debut album "Knot the Thought That Counts" makes that much clear: Instrumentation that favors soprano and baritone saxes; tunes by (or associated with) Joni Mitchell, Thelonious Monk, Duke Ellington, and King Crimson; and original pieces that evoke everything from a surreal game show theme (courtesy of the album's title cut) to a soothing respite from NASDAQ-induced woes (titled aptly enough, "dot calm").
   All of this might come across as too eclectic by half if it weren't for the consistently appealing and often intriguing arrangements.
