Avant-garde jazz composer Devin Drobka enlisted bassist Aaron Darrell and pianist Matt Blair for his latest record. Inspired by the end of his last relationship, Drobka created this body of work as intentionally as one can, finding joy with each passing moment as the musicians connect with one another through fearlessness, urgency, and compassion. There’s a profound level of trust that they share, with Darrell and Blair responding to Drobka’s movements with something that is uniquely theirs. It’s a cathartic collaboration of refined improvisations, as Devin Drobka Trio remind us all how the metaphysics of the present moment are infinitely powerful.
