Description:
"Standard Deviations" is an acoustic jazz CD that unites two outstanding voices of contemporary improvisation: drummer Mike Clark and saxophonist Mike Zilber. Rooted in the post-bop and modern jazz tradition, the album explores sophisticated harmonies, flexible rhythmic concepts and highly communicative group interplay. Listeners can expect a mix of original compositions and creative readings of the jazz language, with intricate drum patterns, eloquent saxophone lines and a strong focus on musical conversation rather than mere solo showcases. The production emphasizes clarity and warmth, capturing the organic sound of a tightly knit ensemble in full artistic control.
The label Sunnyside is known as a long-standing independent jazz imprint that has given space to individual artistic voices in modern and contemporary jazz. With a catalog that ranges from straight-ahead jazz to more adventurous projects, Sunnyside stands for quality, artistic integrity and careful curation rather than mass-market compromise. Releases on Sunnyside are typically well-recorded and thoughtfully presented, making the label a trusted name for listeners seeking serious, musician-driven jazz.
Drummer Mike Clark is widely respected in the jazz world for his virtuosic time, deep groove and inventive approach to rhythm. Known for his work in cutting-edge jazz and funk contexts, he has built a reputation as a musician who can combine technical mastery with a strong sense of swing and interaction. Saxophonist Mike Zilber has made a name for himself with his expressive tone, sophisticated compositions and ability to bridge tradition and modernism. Together they form a partnership that highlights shared musical values: intensity, subtlety and a deep commitment to improvisation. "Standard Deviations" presents them in a pure acoustic setting that will appeal to listeners who appreciate contemporary jazz with depth, energy and nuance.
