David Weiss creative contributions to contemporary jazz continue. J. Strickland- DrumsPraised by The New York Times and the Village Voice for its bold inventions over the years, Weiss music evokes emotional complexity abundance and loss, the collateral beauty of pain and transmits a deeply personal sound informed by his strong connection to hard bop and swing, avant-garde and free improvisation, salsa, soca, fusion, and hard rock traditions.

Across Auteur, the Queens native creates exquisite chambers of sound for his fellow artists to explore. As I was writing, the tunes came out as these extended forms, he says. With each, he strives to break from tradition but maintain certain traditional formats for soloing.

Recorded at Big Orange Sheep Studios in Brooklyn and mixed and mastered by Katherine Miller and Fred Kevorkian, respectively, the compositions prompt an exploration of theme and variation throughout the record. Each artists treatment and development of melody further elevates the music, signaling a level of familiarity with each selection that invites unbound risk-taking. We try to workshop the material live as much as possible before going into the studio, says Weiss.

Its not like one rehearsal and then, Lets do it. The sextet skirts the outer reaches of straight-ahead jazz, innovating while drawing from tradition. Sharonne Cohen, JazzTimes Instructions: For Table Reservations: Note the relative location of the stage and bar on the map.
