From Jean-Luc: “This is my first recording as a band leader and it features arrangements of the angsty 90’s Alt-Rock songs that were an important part of my teenage years. As an adolescent learning how to play Jazz in high school band I was also listening to groups like Nine Inch Nails and the Smashing Pumpkins. In my circle of friends, it seemed a person had to choose between the path of worshiping the broody rock stars on MTV or being a Jazz ‘cool kid’ who freaked out about the latest Coltrane reissue. I eventually embraced Jazz because Denver’s vibrant Jazz community embraced me–but I’ve always loved the rock bands I listened to as a teen. It is in the spirit of this love that I humbly present this collection of arrangements and original compositions.”
