Matt Jorgensen + 451 - The Road Begins Here (2000)

Matt Jorgensen's debut recording as a leader is for people who long for jazz with fully as much in the way of guts as brains. A drummer and composer of torrential passions, young enough to burn with the primal intensity of hard rock, old enough to demand the utmost musicality of himself and his colleagues, Matt is telling us that "the road begins here" for a new, uncompromised jazz reconciling powerhouse energy and haunting beauty.
