Billy Mohler - Ultraviolet (2023) [Hi-Res]

GRAMMY-nominated bassist Billy Mohler has released Ultraviolet via Dayna Stephen’s Contagious Music label. As his most probing release to date, Ultraviolet is Mohler’s third album capturing the evolving vernacular of his formidable quartet with trumpeter Shane Endsley, drummer Nate Wood and reedist Chris Speed.

Mohler creates “jazz music that, despite the seriousness and sincerity of the craft, manages to remain engaging and–yes–fun.” (Downbeat Magazine.) The mixture of Mohler’s pop sensibilities, honed as a 20-year veteran of the Los Angeles studio scene, meshed with a forward exploration and musical curiosity shaped by his tenure at the Thelonious Monk Institute under luminaries Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter.
