MPS 52489
The MPS Project is a electric jazz trio from Durham, NC. The band is led by keyboardist Michael Pelz-Sherman, who has studied jazz, classical and computer music; we're dealing with someone with wide-ranging interests.
"Since moving to Raleigh/Durham in 2006, Pelz-Sherman has assembled some of the area's most talented jazz musicians to produce his first solo effort, Goes Without Saying. The CD includes 6 original compositions, performed by Pelz-Sherman on keyboards, drummer Charles Barchuck, and electric bassist Scott Warren, as well as two astonishing freely-improvised tracks featuring Sean Geist on upright bass. The final track is Pelz-Sherman's arrangement of Steve Swallow's famous jazz standard, Falling Grace. Inspirations include Weather Report, Medeski Martin and Wood, and Lyle Mays."
