Hey all, we had such a great time on our Pittsburgh/Cleveland trip last week! Here are some excerpts from our Cleveland performance at Nighttown, a wonderfully intimate jazz club. Josh David takes a sick slap-bass solo on “Fresh” Pt. 1, followed by a vicious sax attach by Brian Hogans. “Fresh” Pt. 2 features drum and percussion breaks from Gabriel Wallace and Shawn Banks. (Scroll down for more video!)

“Sunset Park” Pt. 1 opens with an improvised solo piano prelude by yours truly (Jesse Fischer) and then showcases Brian Hogans over funky clavinet comping. The rhythm section of Josh David, Shawn Banks, and Gabriel Wallace are featured in the extended afro-beat vamp of “Sunset Park” Pt. 2.

Finally, a sneak peak into Soul Cycle’s next album: a brand-new ballad called “A New Beginning”. This beautiful waltz features an extended piano solo from composer Jesse Fischer and a soulful turn from Brian Hogans on alto sax. Enjoy!
