Jack West and Curvature

"Remarkable, unusual, wondrous!" - Down Beat

"stunning...fuses bebop-inspired jazz, folk, and a jam band attitude into an irresistibly cool, intriguingly textured style." - Acoustic Guitar Magazine



Around About NowCurvature's new release, Around About Now, is a dynamic collection of smokin' tunes – definitely Curvature at their most gregarious. Produced by Jack West with generous assistance from Lee Townsend, Curvature’s fifth CD showcases seven of West’s new compositions presented by the ensemble on unusual and wonderful instrumentation. Around About Now integrates West's unique take on acoustic jazz and blues with elements of country, electronic music, hip/hop and gospel brought in by the ensemble. Featuring Jack West on 8-string acoustic guitar, Joel Davel on electronic marimba, David Phillips on 14-string pedal steel, and drummer Darian Gray. These world-class musicians have developed masterful improvisational techniques and tight ensemble timing.
