Saxophonist Patrick Cornelius keeps moving forward
along new avenues with his latest release "Maybe
Steps." This exciting musical program features Cornelius'
brilliant original compositions presented by an amazing
group of players, including celebrated pianist Gerald
Clayton, bassist Peter Slavov, the ever bombastic Kendrick
Scott on drums, and a guest appearance from guitar
wizard Miles Okazaki and pianist Assen Doykin.
Critical listeners will agree that Cornelius' compositions
and performances clearly demonstrate both his command
of the saxophone and his functional mastery of the
jazz idiom. With a delicate balance of modernity and
classic aesthetics, "Maybe Steps" is insightfully straight
ahead, steadily swinging, and refreshingly melodic
enough to evoke a wide assortment of bright moments to
discerning jazz fans everywhere.
