Bennett Paster - Indivisible (2019)

Deep groove is the number one priority on Indivisible, the latest collection of original melodic instrumental jazz by Brooklyn based keyboardist/composer/producer Bennett Paster. Each song explores a different flavor of groove- from 5/4 swing to funky 70s samba, from New Orleans to Nordic open 8th, and onwards to funk, country waltz, fusion, surf and beyond- this collection takes the listener on a tour of styles, drawing connections between contrasting rhythms through constant focus on groove. Though recorded together in two sessions at Paster’s Brooklyn Wash & Dry Studio, each song has its own sonic identity to match its style. The magic is how this group of musicians- many with 20+ years of playing together- draw this collection of diverse songs together into one cohesive album. This is Indivisible.
