Erik Jekabson explores aspects of the technically demanding modern jazz scene of New York, where he lived for five years, while remaining firmly rooted in the third-stream explorative West Coast jazz tradition pioneered by Dave Brubeck. Having toured with John Mayer, Illinois Jacquet, the Woody Herman Big Band, and the jam-band Galactic, Jekabson also throws in some world, funk and classical influences to a classic jazz ensemble. His Sextet features himself, Dayna Stephens, Michael Zisman, Vince Lateano, Charith Premawardhana and Alisa Rose.
