Saxophonist extraordinaire Ralph Bowen takes everyone
back to school and puts on a master class displaying
his exceptional knowledge of everything jazz.
With a tour de force collection of hard hitting performances,

the happening rhythm section of pianist Jim Ridl,
bassist Kenny Davis, and drummer Cliff Almond. All of
the musicians in the band do some heavy lifting behind
the sensational melodicism and harmonic inventions of
Bowen’s impressive program of compositions and
arrangements. From the opening downbeat, through
the six part suite, to the final salvo, Bowen keeps the
music moving steadily straight forward as he confidently
displays his effortless mastery as an expressive
and unparalleled instrumentalist. We are confident that
Ralph Bowen's new musical message will surely delight
the ears of serious listeners and bring a joyous
shout to jazz fans everywhere.
