Stefan Pieper of Germany's Jazzthetik Magazin wrote, "Now there is Jeff Denson as a singer and great lyricist on a vocal record, accompanied by his band of course. Jeff Denson's latently androgynous, silvery shimmering voice effortlessly transcends genre boundaries - no matter their demarcation of jazz, avant-garde pop, or dazzling progressive rock with a tendency to infinitely winding melodies."

Band Members and Instrumentation: Jeff Denson - vocals & double bass; Lyle Link - tenor & soprano saxophones; Dahveed Behroozi - piano; Dillon Vado - drum set & percussion

Artist/Group Bio(s)

At first glance bassist Jeff Denson appears to reinvent himself on every album, and his 12th release as leader or co-leader, 6th under his name, Outside My Window, might seem like his biggest departure yet. Possessing a huge, galvanizing sound and a lyrically-charged compositional vision, the supremely versatile Denson has earned recognition over the past 15 years as one of his generation’s definitive bassists. Jeff has performed around the world in many of the top jazz festivals and venues with some of the biggest names in jazz such as Dave Douglas, Brian Blade, Joe Lovano and many more including being a member of jazz legend, Lee Konitz’s quartet for over 12 years. Slated for release on his label Ridgeway Records on May 4, 2018, Outside My Window recalibrates his already expansive array of creative outlets by giving equal weight to his vocals. Working with a stellar international quartet, Denson delivers an emotionally taut program weaving together striking interpretations of iconic songs and deeply felt originals.
