The Delray Jazz Collective, whose members have garnered significant international performing, composing and recording credits, mines its collective roots for this nostalgic and meaningful journey into the music that for so many of us has been the soundtrack of our lives. From inventive cross-pollinations evoking the Beatles meeting Coltrane, the Stones hitting the tropics, Take Five meeting Whipping Post, ELP or Pink Floyd meeting Wayne Shorter, to simple renditions of classics, the DJC sound is fresh and new, yet steeped in roots and traditions, and played with the virtuosity, freedom, and soul that lies at the heart of the group’s namesake – jazz.
