THE JT PROJECT – ANOTHER CHANCE
The JT Project: a multi-talented force of sound that brings
forth a unique musical conceptualization: 'a new genre in music called JT'.
Adventurous and bold, Jacob Webb (Keyboards/Bass) and Todd Schefflin (Saxophone),
leaders of The JT Project, knew that it would take more than just a passing
interest in music to become the creative force that they envisioned. Jacob
commands each stroke on the keyboard to awaken the soul with a touch of fire,
and Todd caresses the notes to life with every breath. Todd hailing from
Philadelphia, and Jacob from Kansas City, the two musician's paths collided in
2007 at the prestigious William Paterson University music department in New
Jersey. After an immediate musical connection, Jacob and Todd started writing
music together, which eventually led to the formation of The JT Project in
2009. The JT Project has exponentially expanded into a musical collective,
incorporating the most talented Jazz and Soul musicians in New York City.

DAVE STRYKER – STYRKIN’ AHEAD
Strykin Ahead, his 28th CD as a leader. Stryker augments his
working trio of Jared Gold on organ and McClenty Hunter on drums with
vibraphone player Steve Nelson, all on-board for a second go-round after their
stellar contri- butions to last year s Eight-Track II. Like the leader, Nelson
is a preternaturally flexible and in-the-moment improviser with deep roots in
the tradition who knows how to push the envelope without damaging the contents.
Stryker internalized those imperatives on a 1984-1986 run with Brother Jack
McDuff, and he received further invaluable training in the art of musical
communication during a decade on the road with Stanley Turrentine, to whom he
paid homage on the 2015 release Don t Mess With Mister T.
