**Bassist Jeff Denson recently shared a video featuring a track from his upcoming
album, Between Two Worlds.**

The tune starts with an impressive intro by drummer Brian Blade before the band 
kicks in. Later, Denson takes an equally impressive solo.

When these virtuoso players meet on the bandstand, the result is sheer magic. Join
revered French guitarist Romain Pilon, powerhouse drummer Brian Blade and internationally
acclaimed bassist, vocalist, and composer Jeff Denson as they celebrate their Ridgeway
Records album Between Two Worlds (Release Date October 25, 2019). The recording 
features originals by Denson and Pilon, who met two decades ago as students at Boston’s
Berklee College of Music. After graduation they pursued their own careers, but reunited
occasionally to reclaim their musical camaraderie. When Denson played with Blade
on a 2017 tour with Joel Harrison’s Spirit House, they clicked. “We deeply connected
right away, from the first notes in the sound check,” says Denson. “It felt like
kindred spirits, rhythmically; a whole other language was taking place behind the
soloists, and it was totally enthralling.” Denson thought of Pilon as an ideal third
partner. “He’s a virtuoso player but very sensitive and very musical, the same words
I would use to describe Brian.” Denson extended an invitation to Pilon and Blade,
who enthusiastically accepted. The result is one of the most captivating new groups
in jazz, a trio of players with unmistakable chops, unquestionable creativity, and
probing sensitivity.
