"Graves may be as serious and insignificant as Coltrane, he plays a similar role and writes strong pieces. And by embracing the coincidence, his sextet sometimes rises to unprecedented heights."

About the album

These releases have marked a seismic shift in the jazz landscape and the game-changing arrival of the Los Angeles collective WCGD who blend elements of Jazz, Classical, Rock and Hip-Hop.

Cameron Graves (vocals)

Graves has also carved out a notable career apart from the WCGD. With his brother Taylor he formed the R&B/fusion duo The Graves Brothers, releasing their debut, Look to the Stars, in 2013. That project grew out of a British/American pop group called The Score with which the brothers found enormous success in England. Graves was also a key member of actress/musician Jada Pinkett Smith's nu-metal band Wicked Wisdom, providing entrée into the world of film and television scoring through the Pinkett Smith-directed film The Human Contract and TV series Hawthorne. Through his soundtrack work Graves connected with legendary bassist and fellow Mack Avenue Records recording artist Stanley Clarke, and is now a member of his latest band, touring internationally.

The eight compositions by Graves with baroque titles like Santania our solar system, The end of corpratism match and The Rebellion are full of good ideas.

excellent debut album

Sidemen that reveal themselves as nadleiders after to have contributed to successful album; It is a trend in jazz that's as old as the music itself.

Graves let us hear his classical background a bit too much.
