**This album, the debut release from the Nick Maclean Quartet, represents a modern
re-imagining of the spirit of Herbie Hancock’s primordial 60’s quartet. Not to be
confused with a “tribute” recording, this record has a character of its own, while
being an homage to Hancock’s influence on Maclean both as pianist and composer. **

The depth of the synergistic connectivity between all 4 hand-picked members of Maclean’s
quartet are a cornerstone to the ensemble’s sound and group dynamic. Thus its completion
represents Maclean’s examination of the modern jazz ethos with all the intriguing
challenges, opportunities and possibilities that go with it.

This contemplative and often thrilling quartet’s explorations of modern, original
repertoire is led by a fast-rising star in Toronto’s jazz piano community, 25 year
old NICK MACLEAN. Formed in 2016, Maclean’s foursome delivers jazz between the two
poles of thoughtful introspection and powerhouse conveyance, taking influences from
Herbie Hancock’s primordial 1960’s Blue Note era recordings, while paying tribute
to some of the greatest improvisers in jazz.
