The Fearless Flyers - Tailwinds (2020) LP

The Fearless Flyers are kind of a super-group featuring Joe Dart and Cory Wong from Vulfpeck, Mark Lettieri from Snarky Puppy and Nate Smith (Nate Smith, Chris Potter). Tailwinds is their first full length album following its two EPS, Fearless Flyers I and II.
Although the band is an offshoot, they are definitely distinctive in sound and cutting their own path. They’ve performed a few live shows including opening for Vulfpeck at the world’s most famous arena, Madison Square Garden.
For this fine effort, they recruited their own horn section, the Delta Force, featuring Alekos Syropoulos (alto sax), Kenni Holmen (tenor sax) and Grace Kelly (baritone sax).
