Dave Scheffler - Atomize (2022) [Hi-Res]

Since moving to the otherworldly desertscape of Joshua Tree, Dave Scheffler has returned to his jazz roots, channeling this meditative existence into an album of original compositions influenced by the cool modal jazz of the late ’50s/early ’60s (Miles Davis, Bill Evans) and fusion greats of the ’70s (Weather Report, Return to Forever), and on into the solo work of Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter. His influences from the jazz styles of cool, modal and fusion seems to fall under the rubric of 21st Century Modern Jazz.
