Escoffery and Greene met while former students and protégés of the great Jackie McLean and have remained close collaborators and mutual inspirations ever since. Their style embodies the passion and fire of McLean’s, as well as the profound influence of John Coltrane, whose music they will celebrate with this group. Jazzwise (UK) calls Greene “without doubt one of the most striking young tenors of recent years,” while The New York Times describes Escoffery as “a powerful, passionate player.” Joining these two powerful saxophonists is an auspicious rhythm section trio with pianist Orrin Evans, bassist Peter Washington, and the legendary drummer Lenny White.
