Brad Walker - A Sliver of Catharsis (2026) [Hi-Res]

The album "A Sliver of Catharsis" by saxophonist Brad Walker is a profound immersion into modern jazz with avant-garde and electronic elements. Recorded with Sam Kuslan, Matt Booth, and a rotating cast of drummers (Alfred Jordan, Quin Kirchner, Peter Varnado), the release explores themes of spiritual searching and inner peace. The compositions feature tenor and alto saxophones combined with electronic effects, creating a layered, textural sound. The album balances energetic improvisations with meditative passages, culminating in a conceptual piece about "the stillness at the center."
