Mclean John/Clark Sommers Band - Parts Unknown

Facts Each important members of Chicago's jazz scene for two decades, guitarist McLean and bassist Sommers further solidified their musical rapport through touring and recording with vocalist Kurt Elling over the last several years. The seeds of "Parts Unknown" were planted after a Chicago performance of the duo with the dynamic New York vibist Joe Locke. Enlisting Chicago drummer Xavier Breaker, the group ended up recording this set of original, slippery, joyous and eclectic modern jazz gems. "... Clark Sommers plays with a rock-bottom, infectious groove... securely steeped in the jazz tradition. " - JAZZ. COM
