[ November the 8th release on Endectomorph Music: Kevin Sun – The Sustain of Memory ]
Out November 8, 2019, CD Release Concert Friday, November 15 at The Jazz Gallery, NYC
“This may be the first you’ve heard of Mr. Sun, a tenor saxophonist, but that will soon change… Mr. Sun’s playing develops an identity of its own, equal parts direct and discursive.”–Giovanni Russonello, The New York Times
The Sustain of Memory, out November 8, 2019 via Endectomorph Music, is saxophonist and composer Kevin Sun’s ambitious follow-up to his acclaimed 2018 debut release Trio. Featuring three extended compositions for trio, quartet, and quintet – with trumpeter Adam O’Farrill, pianist Dana Saul, bassists Simón Willson and Walter Stinson, and drummers Dayeon Seok and Matt Honor– the double album shows Sun’s commitment to the formal and dramatic possibilities of small-group formats as well as his emergent vision within them.
