Jim Witzel: Breaking Through Gently at Bird & Beckett Books & Records

About

Jim Witzel has a warmth to his style and a precise technique that brings clarity to any melody before exploding with improvisation.” — LA Jazz Scene. This evening, Jim Witzel brings a trio to explore the tunes on his new album, “Breaking Through Gently.” Jim professes a fondness for the open sound and texture of the recordings released by the ECM label beginning in the early 1970s, and “Breaking Through Gently” represents a shift from the blues-based, hard bop feel of much of his earlier work.
