Riley Mulherkar, as on his recent Riley — “über hip, modern yet timeless… one of the best debut records to come out in a long, long time” Downbeat) — the trumpeter of The Westerlies (one of Downbeat’s recently announced “25 for the Future”) appears with Chris Pattishall (piano, programming/sound design), Joshua Crumbly (bass) and Jason Burger (drums).
Mulherkar grew up in the Seattle jazz ecosystem, studying under Robert Knatt at Washington Middle School and Clarence Acox at Garfield High, as well as being mentored by Wayne Horvitz. Mulherkar shares his deep admiration for the jazz tradition amidst a sonically modern setting, to create vulnerable, melodious interpretations.
