Ben Allison

Layers Of the City is released after the album in trio Quiet Revolution, published by NewVille in 2016, but it is definitely the sequel of The Stars Look Very Different Today, which came out in 2013, and was the first record released by the label founded by Allison, Sonic Camera. The line-up features the leader on double bass and electric bass, Jeremy Pelt on trumpet, Steve Cardenas on guitar, Frank Kimbrough on piano and Allan Mednard on drums. The record includes seven original tracks going from modal themes to windy melody lines and aggressive riffs.
