Described as a “serendipitous, one-of-its-kind meeting between four musicians with life-long accomplishments”, the inaugural gathering of the so-called Quantum Blues Quartet also resulted in a 10-track, eponymous album offering listeners an experience in “true musical exploration.”
The musicians responsible for this experimental sonic journey include long-time friends Tisziji Muñoz (guitar) and Paul Shaffer (keys), as well as Will Calhoun (drums) and Jamaaladeen Tacuma (bass).
“After some cordial introductions, we sat down and played all day--no prep, no charts, no nothing,” says Paul Shaffer. “The music must be heard to be believed.”
